It was rather a road that was really doable with 28mm. But not anymore.

Particularly delicious ice cream, definitely worth a detour. I lived nearby for years and was a regular customer here.

The heath between Elspeet and Vierhouten is very special. When you look around, you will regularly see a striking shape of the hills. These shapes of the hills were not caused by push-up by the land ice, but by meltwater between blocks of ice. Because the deposition of sediment was faster than the melting of the ice blocks, thick layers of sand and gravel formed around and over the ice blocks. When the ice finally melted, a very irregular terrain remained, which was later referred to as a kame terrace.

On the Noorderheide heathland near Vierhouten, three landmarks made of boulders can be found: the Daniel George Pyramid (D.G. Pyramid), the Miesje Pyramid, and the Peter Paul Pyramid (P.P. Pyramid). Along with the now-lost Victoria Pyramid, they were part of the estate of Daniel George van Beuningen (owned by the Boijmans Van Beuningen Museum). In 1935, he constructed ingenious waterworks here, consisting of brick gutters, ponds, and a pumping station to pump water and supply the streams. The three remaining pyramids have been restored by volunteers.

The Grevelweg near Elspeet is almost impossible to navigate with a regular bike. There are many holes and deep grooves in the unpaved path. Unfortunately, I fell off my bike. Be careful!
