Gravel routes
A gentle ride over gravel, sand, and quiet country lanes.
Gorp and Roovert
73 km · ±8.4 hm · gravel · leisurely
Our classic: a leisurely meander past fens, tree-lined avenues, and the old estate forests of Gorp and Roovert. Virtually car-free and nice and flat, ideal for a first introduction to gravel riding.
Land Estate De Utrecht / Gorp and Roovert
116 km · ±257 m · gravel · tough
The longer version for those who want to really push themselves for a day: via the vast forests of the De Utrecht and Gorp en Roovert estates. Challenging, but plenty of beautiful scenery along the way for a break.
Mountain bike routes
singletracks, forest paths and drifting sand — from Vessem to the Brabant Sahara
Vessem – Knegsel, short
50 km · MTB · singletrack
Our regular loop from home: a playful course with fast singletracks through the woods around Vessem and Knegsel.
Vessem – Knegsel, lots of singletrack
68 km · MTB · lots of singletrack
The long version with as much consecutive singletrack as possible. Technique and fun come first; your bike is allowed to get dirty.
Loonse & Drunense Duinen
74 km · ±427 vertical meters · MTB · drifting sand
In one go from Oirschot to the Brabant Sahara: plowing through shifting sands, playing on the dune edges, and back home via forests and fens. Our most adventurous ride, and perhaps the most beautiful. Please note: you need a vignette for the MTB trails in the dunes. Buy a day pass at De Rustende Jager or order one in advance. one online.
