Beautiful path! Only discovered this week after I have been cycling in the area all my life. It does not climb very much so you can keep a good pace. Nice long uphill part, and as desert you can turn left at the end for the last part Snippendaalseweg to the Zijpenberg for some real climbing feeling.... read more

Lovely cycle path through Beekhuizen estate. Heavily neglected park and you cross sections that used to be fun in the Posbank MTB route. You start in a villa estate and head for the Posbank moors. I liked it.

Fraai fietspad door landgoed Beekhuizen. Sterk verwaarloosd park en je kruist stukken die vroeger leuk waren in de Posbank MTB-route. Je begint in een villawijk en gaat naar de heidevelden van de Posbank. Ik vond hem leuk.

Long gentle climb, first a bit through the built-up area and then sharply to the right onto a beautifully situated (and fun winding) cycle path. You take this one more for the scenery and it's well worth it. Just pure enjoyment. At the end of the climb you can turn left for some higher percentages.

Lange rustige klim, eerst een stukje door de bebouwde kom en daarna scherp naar rechts een prachtig gelegen (en leuk slingerend) fietspad op. Deze pak je meer voor de omgeving en die is het zeker waard. Gewoon puur genieten. Aan het eind van de klim kan je naar links voor wat hogere percentages.

It may get the stamp of hidden pearl. Very quiet with plenty of natural beauty to see. You cycle in the direction of the Zijperberg through a beautiful and varied forest, after you have crossed the Beekhuizense Beek and passed a waterfall. You will not train your climbing legs here, except for two little hops at the end. Enjoy the smell of the forest and get back on your pedals when you connect to the Snippendaalseweg.

Deze mag het stempel verborgen parel krijgen. Heel rustig met genoeg te zien aan natuurschoon. Je fietst richting de Zijperberg door een prachtig en gevarieerd bos, nadat je de Beekhuizense Beek bent overgestoken en een waterval bent gepasseerd. Je klimbenen train je hier niet, op twee hupjes aan het eind na. Geniet van de bosgeur en ga weer op de pedalen staan als je aansluit op de Snippendaalseweg.

Prachtig pad! Pas deze week ontdekt nadat ik al mijn hele leven in de omgeving fiets. Het stijgt niet bijzonder dus je kunt goed tempo houden. Lekker lang stuk omhooglopende weg, en als toetje kun je aan het einde linksaf voor het laatste gedeelte Snippendaalseweg naar de Zijpenberg voor wat echt klimgevoel.

This descent is also very nice, especially if you start from the Zijpenberg. From the top you roll all the way down to Velp. Around dusk you may encounter a wild boar family on your path.

Deze is als afdaling ook erg leuk, zeker als je start vanaf de Zijpenberg. Van de top rol je helemaal naar beneden tot in Velp. Rond schemertijd kun je zomaar een everzwijnenfamilie op je pad treffen.
