Ermelosche Heath

Highlight (Segment) • Natural

On the enchanting Ermelo heath you cycle through vast heathlands, forests and picturesque fens. This area of 343 hectares is an ideal place for cyclists and nature lovers. Here you can find a colorful collection of flora and fauna, including rare bird species such as the nightjar that have made their home here. The most beautiful time of the year is when the heather is in bloom. From mid-August to mid-September the area turns into a sea of pink flowers.

Staverden Gravel Path

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Great gravel road / Strade Bianche in the Staverden Estate. Great for gravel bikes, due to the loose sand probably tough on road racers. The scenery is amazing... fields, forest and farms. You get the feeling like you went back in time 100 years or more.

Gravel Road Kroondomein - Hoge Duvel

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Hoge Duvel is a beautiful gravel road / 'Strade Bianche' running through the 'Kroondomein Het Loo' forest. At the intersection in the middle of Kroondomein in the south, there's the possibility of following the Hoge Duvel further towards Apeldoorn in the east, or turning further south towards Hoog Soeren.
Kroondomein het Loo form the official royal hunting grounds, making them a beautiful part of the Veluwe nature park, but also most paths are closed off to the public from mid september to Christmas for hunting season. This one is open all year though :) Be aware of this before planning your ride here. Otherwise, definitely ride this highlight as it is beautiful.

Strade Bianche Hofweg (Kroondomein)

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The Hofweg - also known as the Uddel gravel road - is a hard gravel road in Kroondomein het Loo, which is freely accessible all year round (also during the closure of large parts of the Kroondomein in the autumn). The gravel road is a bit rough here and there, but is generally fine to cycle with a racing bike. In the forest a slight climb / descent, on the heath beautiful flat with beautiful views. Recommended!

Like driving through a fairytale forest! Not the best bike path in the Netherlands, but one of the most beautiful.
