  This leg's Roadblock required one team member to wear a traditional Dutch costume and search among hundreds of klompen (traditional wooden shoe) for one that exactly matched the one displayed in the store. When they matched the pair, the cobbler would hand them their next clue.
  This leg's Detour was a choice of Soak or Shuffle. In Soak, teams had to pilot an electric-powered hot tub (known as Hot Tug) through the city's canals, while solving a rebus along the route. Once teams wrote down the right answer, which was "Ice Skating Rink," they would receive their next clue. In Shuffle, teams had to play a traditional shuffleboard game called sjoelen and score 51 points in order to receive their next clue.
  Additional tasks
  After the Roadblock, teams had to ride provided bikes along the Amstel River to Amsterdam.
  After the Detour, teams had to ride their bikes to the ice skating rink on Museumplein, which was the Pit Stop.
