Challenging climb to Nassaulaan (Mookerheide)

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Climb is short but steep and ends with a concrete curb and a post. So be careful. Just before you go up to the left you see a small building between the trees / shrubs.

April 27, 2022,Malden en omgeving op de gravelbike (route van Erwin Sikkens iets aangepast)

Route of Erwin Sikkens slightly converted, beautiful!
At the cross track you are no longer allowed to cross the mookerheide, so go back there and deviate from the original route.

Watch out for the sandy path/trough where the barbed wire is very close!

Beautiful varied route!
