Thursday - These boots are made for walking (and then going back by train)

Although it's one of the most densely populated countries in the world, there are plenty of interesting walks to do in The Netherlands passing across pretty green areas with canals, tiny villages and polders.

A good starting point is the website eropuit.nl, which is a brainchild of the NS (National Railways).

A search engine on the left column allows you to set the criteria you wish: departure place, kind of excursion (nature, sporty, with kids, with museums), date of the trip.

According to what you chose, several suggestions are provided with useful information about the length, the sights, the costs involved and public transportation advice.
