Steep gravel climb on the Shimano Valkenburg MTB route

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Steep unpaved starting climb of the official Shimano Valkenburg MTB route. Also a great alternative to the unpaved Cauberg climb (Heytgrachtvoetpad), which is now prohibited for cyclists. The path is technically challenging, not only because of its gradient, but also because of the loose stones in the middle of the path. At the top, however, a fantastic view over the climb and the lower Valkenburg awaits you. Well worth it!

Gravel path to the Bemelerberg

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Beautiful gravel road along the rocks of the Bemelerberg. They are the rocks that you probably know from the asphalt road that runs through the village itself. The gravel road is wide, grows nicely and is perfect for gravel bikes. On both sides this road can be connected to many other beautiful gravel roads and gravel climbs.

Gravel road, off the Bemelerweg

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A nice prelude to a lot more beautiful gravel roads, that is this gravel road that takes you from the city of Maastricht away from the annoying asphalt of the Bemelerweg quite quickly outside the built-up area. From the intersection in the north you can go in all directions on gravel.

Tramweg gravel section

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The Tramweg is a wide straight car-free gravel road just south of Bemelen. The road rises slowly, but there is certainly no real climb. With enough mm rubber, it can also be cycled with a racing bike.

Margraterweg–Heeresteeg Gravel Path

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A lovely wide sloping gravel road on the plateau between Cadier en Keer and Margraten. Perfect to combine with the gravel road south of the military cemetery Margraten if you are on the road with the gravel bike. With enough rubber, you can still cycle with the racing bike.

Full Throttle Gravel

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Nice wide gravel stretch from Terlinden towards Waterop. Slightly descending towards Waterop and therefore nice to stamp on hard.

Climb through the forest from Waterop

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

On Strava the Lintjesveldpad. A climb through the forest ranging from 6 to 15%. The loose boulders make it an art to climb and to steer well in between and to keep your balance. Definitely recommended!

Oosterberg Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

This descent from Camping Oosterberg to Epen, gives the most beautiful views of South Limburg. In the first bend from Camping Oosterberg, you have a beautiful view of the Camerig, Terziet and Kuttingen. The descent has some gullies and large boulders. If you are not so technical, then descend slowly.

Technical path through the forest

Highlight • Trail

This path starts as a gravel path, but when you arrive in the woods it follows the technical path. Don't rush to do it.

Sleijpeberg gravel road

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Wide, smooth gravel road through the farmlands in the Limburg hills. Halfway through there is a cool bend in the strip to keep you focused and to provide some variety ... they did that in a funny way. Fine and even perfect to cycle with the gravel bike.

Gravel section Scheulder (Lammerdel)

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Beautiful wide gravel road that winds its way through the Limburg landscape slightly hilly. Although cars can drive here, you will rarely come across anything other than a lost cyclist or walker. Perfect for cycling with the gravel bike. On the loose side, but with wide tires can also be cycled with a racing bike.

Gerendal gravel climb

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Lovely gravel road that slowly climbs up through the Gerendal. A quiet Limburg place where you only encounter a lost hiker or tractor. Take the same walkers into account and moderate your speed during the descent. At the bottom you can then say your early prayer to Jesus on the cross. It can hardly be more typical. Perfectly suited for gravel bikes.

Oosterberg gravel climb/descent

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

As part of the official MTB route, this climb / descent is a nice unpaved challenge just outside Valkenburg. As a descent very nice to cycle, with a nice steeper part with loose stones. You will be rewarded with beautiful views along the way. Great to do on the gravel bike.
