A nice gravel strip along a high fence with barbed wire: the backyard of Princess Beatrix. You can choose the (narrow) shell cycle path or the wider dirt road.

Heathland descent with views over Zuiderheide

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

One of the many fantastic pieces of heathland around Hilversum. Not a lot of height difference, but you can feel it. Can be very busy with walkers, cyclists, runners and other outdoorsy people on sunny days.

Westerheide Heath near 't Bluk

Highlight • Natural

The heath in this area, called the Zuiderheide, used to be a communal heath where farmers grazed sheep. Now it is a beautiful nature reserve that turns purple at the end of the summer.

Zuiderheide

Highlight • Natural

Very beautiful surroundings, the bike path runs quite directly through it and sometimes has limited visibility. The most beautiful places here can only be reached on foot, which is really worth it.

Gravel Path Through the Forest

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Indeed a nice straight stretch of gravel cycle path. But very narrow and so be careful when "racing" because of any oncoming traffic. There is a wider forest road next …

Give the gravel bike a really good test. Wet conditions where an MTB would not have been out of place. The bike worked fine. You notice that he really enjoys the gravel paths.
