Superb gravel road / Strade Bianche through farm fields just outside the Geldersche Uddel. One of the many beautiful gravel roads that you will find in this 'Kroondomein' region. Good to ride for all bikes including racing bikes.

View of the Speulderveld heath

Highlight • Viewpoint

Beautiful cycle path through the vast heathland of the Speulderveld, between Uddel and Garderen. A beautiful area to cycle through all year round, but of course you can't beat the flowering period at the end of summer. Then this area turns into a sea of purple-pink flowers. Highly recommended!

Roman marching camp

The Roman Marching Camp near Ermelo is the only Roman Marching Camp found in the Netherlands. Excavations have shown that Marcus Aurelius' army camped here on the heath for a few days in the year 170 AD.

Ermelosche Heath

Highlight (Segment) • Natural

On the enchanting Ermelo heath you cycle through vast heathlands, forests and picturesque fens. This area of 343 hectares is an ideal place for cyclists and nature lovers. Here you can find a colorful collection of flora and fauna, including rare bird species such as the nightjar that have made their home here. The most beautiful time of the year is when the heather is in bloom. From mid-August to mid-September the area turns into a sea of pink flowers.
