If you're not in your flow, a dragon. But if you do get your flow, there's no end to it. Even worth combining with Ede.

Valenberg viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

Very nice and challenging route. In terms of altitude not excessive but sometimes quite tough technical climbs in between. Nice and many single tracks. Track has a good flow. Especially the lookout post is worth stopping for a while.

Junction of ATB routes Otterlo and Lunteren

Highlight • MTB Park

Straight ahead (light blue) for Otterlo. Right (purple) for Lunteren.

(NOTE!: if you go straight ahead, you have to cross the fence via the wooden bridge. The fence is difficult to see at sunset, but it is there.)

Long Climb Zandgat

Highlight • Climb

New part of the Lunteren MTB route. First time ridden in rain on muddy track. It is already noticeable that a challenging loop has been added, where optimal use has been made of the terrain.

Descent and Climb with Sharp Turns – Veluwe

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This second descent is slightly more difficult than the first. Lots of erosion, and some small drops over tree roots. The second climb is not straight up, but meanders over …

What a paradise. Completely aligned in one unique direction. Separated from other forest users and not 20 meters straight ahead

As the last MTB ride before 'the break' I did Lunteren, at least tried. Probably the signs sold out and it is thought that everyone has GPS anyway. But also drove nice pieces and some vest technically for Fredje 😉. Perhaps a new attempt with GPS 😂.
