Tips from the Community
The view is beautiful, but only legal if you park your bike on the path and walk a bit. Then you'll see much more of the area than you would on a bike, since the view from the bike path is somewhat limited.

Besides the beautiful view from the table mountain, it is also nice to see all the different distances compared to other places and to stand at the highest point of the Gooi: 39.2 m above NAP

The moorland path passes Table Mountain here. Soft surface and possibly even up the mountain for a nice view over the heath

The hill has several ascents and descents with varying degrees of difficulty. You can make it from challenging to very challenging. At the moment (summer 2023) there is a lot of work on and around the hill, which means that not all paths are accessible to cyclists anymore.
