My advice is to avoid the heathland and forest area of Drouwenerzand by mountain bike. This in connection with the many walkers. There is a challenging dirt road (Dikmeersweg) on the south side of and just outside this area. It is easy to cycle for mountain bikers. The tip is to cycle up the dirt road from the direction of Gasselternijveen. You then have an ascent of about 12 meters over an often loose dirt road.
