Beautiful church at the start of the route in Kootwijk

The heath between Elspeet and Vierhouten is very special. When you look around, you will regularly see a striking shape of the hills. These shapes of the hills were not caused by push-up by the land ice, but by meltwater between blocks of ice. Because the deposition of sediment was faster than the melting of the ice blocks, thick layers of sand and gravel formed around and over the ice blocks. When the ice finally melted, a very irregular terrain remained, which was later referred to as a kame terrace.

Wouter describes the comfortable route from Aardhuisweg back towards Uddel. It's fun to do, especially in wet weather, as you and your bike will arrive covered in fine white spray. But if you're looking for a real challenge, go the other way: first, an endless, gently ascending straight path through the heathland, and just when your legs start to feel the heat, there's the heart-pumping winding path through the trees. Actually, it's more fun.

Map point in the bicycle junction network. 👍 Unfortunately, only a map and no bench for a rest.

On the Noorderheide heathland near Vierhouten, three landmarks made of boulders can be found: the Daniel George Pyramid (D.G. Pyramid), the Miesje Pyramid, and the Peter Paul Pyramid (P.P. Pyramid). Along with the now-lost Victoria Pyramid, they were part of the estate of Daniel George van Beuningen (owned by the Boijmans Van Beuningen Museum). In 1935, he constructed ingenious waterworks here, consisting of brick gutters, ponds, and a pumping station to pump water and supply the streams. The three remaining pyramids have been restored by volunteers.

The Grevelweg near Elspeet is almost impossible to navigate with a regular bike. There are many holes and deep grooves in the unpaved path. Unfortunately, I fell off my bike. Be careful!
