Nice varied route, nice single tracks, short hills and a part goes over wooden bridges. Very challenging and important to know how to take them.

The middle section of the current house dates from 1662. In the 19th and early 20th century it was expanded with a total of four towers. The house is the core of an intact country estate with two farm buildings, a large park, a workshop, a vegetable garden and an orangery. The character of the Nijenhuis estate is park-like: romantic walking paths along the winding Molenbeek, monumental groups of trees and picturesque vistas define the image.
