アステンのバイクパーク・トップ20

Starting point of the mountain bike route in Liessel. This varied route of approximately 17.8 kilometers takes you through beautiful forests and nature reserves with a mix of singletracks, turns, and fast sections. A fun and sporty route for mountain bikers who want to enjoy nature and a challenging ride. 🚵‍♂️🌲

During the year, a water tap will be installed at the De Smeltkroes sports park, where there is also a large car park from which the routes for MTB routes, walking routes, cycling routes start, and there is a rest area with a table and benches.

The Roof of Brabant, located on the Gulberg near Nuenen/Mierlo, is an artificial hill that emerged from a former landfill and is now one of the region's most striking landmarks. With a summit of approximately 60 meters, the hill offers a panoramic view rarely found anywhere else in Brabant. From the summit, you can look out over the Luchense Heide, the surrounding forest, the Eindhoven Canal, and, on a clear day, even as far as Eindhoven and Helmond. The slopes of the Gulberg are covered with rugged grass and shrubs, making the area a habitat for birds and small mammals. The summit is regularly visited by hikers, runners, and mountain bikers, but it remains a place where you literally stand above the landscape. The contrast between the natural environment and its industrial origins makes it a unique viewpoint that is always worth pausing for a moment.

and there is the key again, here you can also park to take walks

Great spot to play with the MTB and the gravel bike. The MTB route is in some places easy to do with a gravel bike. In other parts it is better to take the MTB. Many beautiful wide gravel paths on, around and over this waste mountain. The switchbacks on the side of the golf course are great if you want to make some altitude meters. All around a beautiful view of the surroundings and in the distance the skyline of Eindhoven.

Do you want to make altitude meters on the gravel bike? Then you have to be here. Beautiful paths on and over this waste mountain. Multiple paths to choose from so it doesn't get boring quickly. The switchbacks of the MTB route are also really good to do with a gravel bike. Definitely include them in the route.
