Hideout No. 3

Nieuwe Prinsenweg through the Speulder Forest

This is a paved cycle path through the dense forests of the Speulderbos. This forest is located on a moraine, which means that you will find considerable differences in height here - by Dutch standards.

Sandy and bridle paths in Garderen Forest

Highlight • Forest

Beautiful, quiet paths through the forest. Sometimes a lot of sand and tree roots; fine for the mtb, a bit more challenging for the gravel bike.

Thanks @erwinsikkens_com for making this nice route. Beautiful weather today and wonderfully quiet in the Speulderbos. Nice warm-up lap for the Gooische Strade Bianche next Saturday.

This was pure instant happiness on the gravel bike! What an environment, say - peace, flow and the magic of the Speulderbos. A ride that felt like cycling through a fairy tale! 💫 Winding paths, mystical trees and everywhere that soft light that filtered through the forest.
