May 1, 2022,Long 2 terrils gravel ride.

Along the edges of the Hoge Kempen National Park. Forest, forest, forest, heath, sand, forest, terrils, forest heath and fields. But especially a lot of beautiful hard gravel paths. Due to the dry weather, loose sand here and there, but everything is good to drive.
