De Sallandse Heuvelrug National Park

Highlight • Forest

The Sallandse Heuvelrug National Park (German: Sallander Hügelrücken) is a nature reserve in the Dutch province of Overijssel, covering approximately 3,500 hectares. The area was granted official national park status in 2004 and is primarily home to heathlands and inland dunes.

An area with atypical for the Netherlands, the Sallandse Heuvelrug lies between Hellendoorn and Holten, offering panoramic views over large, rolling heathlands and extensive forests. Characteristic hills include the Hellendoornse Berg, the Haarlerberg, the Holterberg, and the Koningsbelt. The Koningsbelt is the highest at 75 meters above sea level.

In addition to the dominant heathlands, the Sallandse Heuvelrug National Park also features areas of coniferous and deciduous forests.

Molenbelterweg Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Nice little climb of a good kilometer from Holten. Good asphalt. Wide road. Be careful with oncoming traffic. At the top after the cobblestones, catch your breath at Woody's with Apple Pie.

We drove this beautiful route again today: komoot.nl/tour/1040118796

Definitely worth driving more often. There were some puddles along the way, after the heavy rain recently, but most of it was easy to avoid. This area is not very wet for long, because water sinks into the ground here more quickly.

See the route taken for more photos.

Varied gravel ride on and around the Sallandse ridge.

Easy going route with half gravel with finer and coarser parts. A few forest paths, a shell path and a few car-free roads.

The views are mainly wide, with a view of the ridge at all times.
