On route to scouting / cross track

Beautiful nature area for mountain biking. Combining the routes Holten and Hellendoorn is also very cool to combine

Beautiful track (blue route), but unfortunately it is closed every year from April 1 to September 30

The Lochemse Berg and neighbor the Kale Berg are remnants of the penultimate ice age. When the land ice pushed up the land, a slightly sloping landscape was created. The mountains are now covered with forests where you can wander endlessly. Anyone who has an eye for it will see special residents, such as deer, squirrels, foxes, woodpeckers and the kingfisher butterfly. The Netherlands has 5 species of woodpeckers, which stay all year round. You can all spot the black, the green, the great spotted, the lesser spotted and the middle spotted woodpecker. It is wonderful walking on the mountain. From the hills you have a beautiful view over the rolling landscape. MTB enthusiasts can indulge themselves on one of the most beautiful routes in the Netherlands. (source: Achterhoek.nl)

The Belvedere tower is a striking watchtower located in Lochem. The tower is located on the Lochemse Berg, a hilly area that is part of the Northeast Twente National Landscape Park. The Belvedere tower offers a beautiful panoramic view of the surrounding landscape. The Belvedere Tower was designed by the well-known Dutch architect Pierre Cuypers and was built in 1893. Cuypers is also responsible for the design of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and Amsterdam Central Station, making the tower an architecturally important heritage site. The tower has a height of approximately 30 meters and is strategically located on the Lochemse Berg. From the top of the tower you have a breathtaking view of the surrounding landscape, including the vast forests, rolling hills and farmlands of the Achterhoek. Besides offering a panoramic view, the Belvedere tower also has historical significance. The tower was built as a monument in honor of Queen Emma of the Netherlands, and her initials "E.R." are found in the masonry of the tower.

Nice long climb followed by a flowy descent

Fantastic nature, un-Dutch. And we find out; Holland is not flat ;-)
