Beautiful open nature. Beautiful white sand path that is easy to ride with a gravel bike, at least in the wetter months. I don't know what it's like in the summer. Really away from the highway, wonderfully quiet.

For me one of the most beautiful surroundings to go out with the gravel bike. So many different possibilities. From glamour gravel to forest paths and from cart tracks to dirt roads, everything is there. You can tour beautifully along the many canals and connect beautiful paths with ease.
