Gravel Road Kroondomein - the Hoge Duvel

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Beautiful wide hardpack gravel road through Kroondomein Het Loo with beautiful curves and playful but clear height difference. The Hoge Duvel is one of the main connections in the nature reserve and can be driven from Elspeet on beautiful gravel all the way to Apeldoorn or the N-road just above Hoog Soeren.

The road is part of the network of paths in the Kroondomein that is open all year round. So you can also cycle here during the autumn closure from September 15 to Christmas.

The road can be cycled with a racing bike, but of course it comes into its own with a gravel bike ;-)
