Nice wide gravel path that is easy to do on the MTB, gravel bike and also on the road bike with somewhat wider tires. The path is somewhat hidden in the woods near Peest

From a charity these poor colonies were founded. A place where poor people, beggars and the homeless got shelter and were given the opportunity to work. Veenhuizen was one of those poor colonies.

Official route starts at Maallust in Veenhuizen. Nice place to start with coffee or end with a special beer.
