Beautiful "climb" through the forest over the Utrechtse Heuvelrug. Worth at least three stars just for its rustic and beautiful location on the forest slope. For me, this is one of the pearls of the Heuvelrug. As a descent, it's also great fun to do, as it requires some steering skills. It is not a mega-crowded route, but be aware of any oncoming traffic. The road is quite narrow.

Mooie "klim" door het bos over de Utrechtse Heuvelrug. Minstens drie steren waard alleen al vanwege de rustieke en mooie ligging op de boshelling. Voor mij is dit één van de parels van de Heuvelrug. Als afdaling ook erg leuk om te doen, omdat het wat stuurmanskutnen vereist. Het is geen megadrukke route, maar let daarbij wel op eventuele tegenliggers. De weg is vrij smal.

Beautiful surroundings. Nice cross-country through the forest. Don't do this climb with road bike in autumn when the leaves are falling. A big wet mess. Better take the gravel bike then.

Mooie omgeving. Lekker crossen door het bos. Deze klim niet doen met racefiets in het najaar als de bladeren vallen. Een grote natte bende. Pak dan liever de gravelbike.

Beautiful gravel path through the forest, no problem with the road bike. Because you cycle so close to the trees, you do not really realise how much you are climbing. I even thought for a moment that my rear tyre was deflating, so much resistance on the steepest parts.

Prachtig gravelpad door het bos, geen probleem met de racefiets. Doordat je zo dicht langs de bomen fietst heb je niet echt door hoeveel je stijgt. Ik dacht zelfs even dat mijn achterband leegliep, zoveel weerstand ervoer ik op de steilste stukjes.

The Let de Stigterpad is a lovely and well constructed cycling path over a large part of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug. The path, with good gravel, goes up and down continuously and has lots of curves so that you sometimes have the feeling (especially in descents) to be on a roller coaster (or on a MTB route as far as curves are concerned). I didn't have the feeling that I was working away 20 climbs because there are constantly small bumps, but there is definitely a rise to notice. Because of the path itself and the beautiful surroundings I still got a high score. In good weather watch out for inattentive e-bikers.

Het Let de Stigterpad is een heerlijk en goed aangelegd fietspad over een groot deel van de Utrechtse Heuvelrug. Het pad, met prima gravel, golft continue op en neer en heeft lekker veel bochten zodat je soms het gevoel hebt (vooral in afdalingen) in een achtbaan te zitten (of op een MTB-route qua bochten). Ik had niet niet het gevoel dat ik hier 20 klimpunten aan het wegwerken was omdat het continue om kleine bultjes gaat, maar er is zeker stijging te merken. Vanwege het pad zelf en de fraaie omgeving toch een hoge score. Bij mooi weer wel oppassen voor onoplettende e-bikers.
