Rekem Singletrack Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A wonderful single track with short bends. It's really difficult to keep up the speed here. Quite a bit of maneuvering is required to get through the trees, stumps and roots. Very nice.

August 5, 2023,Flanders Gravel Limburg 70km

Since it was only my 2nd bike tour in 2023, I had to be satisfied with the 70km. More was not possible, especially the muddy and sandy passages pulled the plug for me. The track was great again. Especially the detour to the Hoge Kempen National Park🌲🏞. I definitely want to take FG Limburg 2024 with me again.
