A fun route over the climbs you look for 1st when you go to this area. The best is the combination Defensieweg and Leemkuil in quick succession, but the real gem of this area is Koerheuvel. Nowhere does it get tough,very occasionally you will see 8％ appear on the navigation. Most of the time you cycle through green surroundings, which is nice and quiet, but I did it in the first week of October and then the roads were littered with tree fruits, so you couldn't keep your handlebars loose in your hands for a moment.
Een leuke route over de beklimmingen die je als 1e opzoekt als je naar dit gebied gaat. De leukste is de combinatie Defensieweg en de Leemkuil kort achter elkaar,maar de echte parel van deze omgeving is toch wel de Koerheuvel. Nergens wordt het zwaar,heel af en toe zie je 8％ verschijnen op de navigatie. Veelal fiets je door een groene omgeving wat lekker rustig is,maar deed hem 1e week oktober en toen waren de wegen bezaaid met boomvruchten waardoor je geen moment je stuur ff losjes in de handen kon houden.
Very nice route for people who want to explore the hills. You drive a lot through the green. Is not very heavy, so less experienced rennens can also do this fine
Zeer leuke route voor mensen die de heuvelrug eens willen verkennen. Je rijdt veel door het groen. Is niet heel zwaar, dus minder geoefende rennens kunnen dit ook prima aan
