Trail Reviews

Andreas

July 20, 2024, Radle durch die Wälder der Veluwe auf der Suche nach Wildtieren

The tour was OK. Mostly good but very narrow cycle paths. You have to keep an eye on what's going on in front of and behind you! Nice restaurants along the way. (I had to reset once because Komot gave my average speed as 234 km/h. I was a bit slower)

The original stated that you were not allowed to cycle on large parts. That is really not true. This junction tour is perfectly cycleable. Nice and busy in the middle of the week but fine. You can also make a shortcut to Radio Kootwijk but we had already experienced that.
