Gravel riding

As far as I'm concerned, this is the ideal Sunday ride. For the gravel bike, of course, because no less than two thirds of the 90-kilometer route is unpaved.

You get on in Oud-Rekem and continue cycling on gravel paths through the floodplains of the Maas. It is possible that…

October 24, 2021,Nationaalpark Hoge Kempen gravelseries 90km zonder Terril (ideale zondagrit)

Almost the same ride as the 100km Golazzo. Only Pietersheim and the Terril taken out. Especially on Sundays it is busy in these places and it is not recommended to drive here because of walkers.

Also a route from a collection by Bram Tankink. Very beautiful and varied route, including along floodplains of the Maas, canals, farm roads, heathlands and the 2nd part through NP De Hoge Kempen.
