The greatest circle of the Veluwe – a natural loop at its finest; ride through forests and heathlands, past charming villages, and keep your eyes open for wildlife.
An iconic round, perfectly mapped out by hand into a super fun, bike-friendly route full of beautiful highlights and a unique circle on the map. 🚴♂️✨
To put this rondo on the map, you make an impressive loop through the most beautiful parts of the Veluwe. A recommendation is to start at the idyllic Carolinahoeve in De Steeg.
You leave National Park Veluwezoom at Dieren and cycle beautifully along the IJssel on the eastern side of the loop, where you can enjoy a few surprising gravel sections along the route!
Once in the north, you exchange the river landscape for the vast, rolling forests and heathlands around Elspeet and Vierhouten. After a wide crossing along Voorthuizen and the impressive Ginkelse Heide, you head towards Arnhem.
The sting is definitely in the tail here, with a tough series of leg-burners, including the Emmapiramide, Zijpenberg, and of course the Posbank. After 150 - 160km on the pedals, you return to the starting point. The circle is complete!
Narrow tires? That works perfectly! The route is fully paved, with about 1 km of gravel.
Gravel bike? Then take the gravel variant with an extra 50km of unpaved/gravel sections.
