Strabrechtse Heide has many gravel paths and especially in the weekends with nice weather these paths are used a lot by cyclists. Mostly nice weather cyclists who like to take it easy. So if you want to do some gravel riding, you should not be there on a nice weekend. During the week it is quieter with cyclists and then you can easily do some gravel riding on the many gravel paths there. If you want to come by car, no problem, there are more than enough parking spaces around this area. But, don't forget to enjoy

You won't find better gravel paths in the area. Beautiful network over the Strabrechtse Heide. Beautiful heathland and various fens. Good to do with the gravel bike but also with 30mm tires on the racing bike.

It doesn't get any better than this. Gravel as gravel is meant to be. Beautiful along the Beuven. On nice days it is busy so watch out for oncoming traffic and walkers.

Fantastic gravel strip. I call it glamour gravel. One of the most beautiful strips in the area. Are you going to cycle on Strabrecht? Definitely include this in the route.
