Explore the beautiful landscapes of the Achterhoek on a mountain bike with this Collection of challenging routes through the Winterswijk region.

Winterswijk offers, with its diverse landscape and more than 70 estates, a great experience for mountain bikers. The renewed mountain bike route of Winterswijk, with twelve kilometers of singletracks and challenging climbs on the 'Winterswijkse Berg', is a must-try. Feel the adrenaline in the descents of the Winterswijkse Berg, with its beautiful view and challenging course of 2.2 kilometers with technical sections such as The Wallride, rockgarden and drop-offs.

Also for the mountain biker who prefers not to cycle on singletracks, there is plenty to experience. The Zieuwent route is a gem, with its extensive 59 kilometers through the agricultural area and along the banks of the Slinge and the beautiful Vennebulten. Combine this route with that of Groenlo and Winterswijk for a total distance of 137 kilometers through the beautiful coulisse landscape of Nationaal Landschap Winterswijk.

Finally, explore the surroundings of Aalten with the mountain bike route Aalten-West, which offers quiet paths and wide views, perfect for both beginners and experienced mountain bikers.

Immerse yourself in the beauty of the Achterhoek on a mountain bike and discover the many possibilities that this beautiful region has to offer.

No permits are required for these routes. However, a voluntary contribution for maintenance is appreciated and will benefit the Stichting MTB Achterhoek. For more information about routes, bike rental and arrangements, visit outdoorachterhoek.nl.
