A wonderful place to settle down after a walk or MTB trip for a cup of coffee with apple pie or a delicious lunch. Inside or on the terrace.

Vrachelen West is the first part of the Vrachelen route. In the beginning a rather bumpy single track that after crossing the road changes into a nice dry track with a nice drop-off at a root party. This is followed by a nice stretch through a Douglas forest with a short climb and a nice descent where you can choose between an easy line or a line over a carpet of carrots. After this a longer connecting piece over the road and a wide gravel track after which you will turn and turn along the road again on a winding single track.

Riders against the direction of travel: This is because the GPS track for the part that overlaps with the signposted MTB Track Alphen is not good and goes against the direction of travel!
