Beautiful gravel routes in the south of Limburg (NL). These routes offer the finest of gravel and easy climbs or descents. In the south of Limburg, gravel is a bit more rough and descents often have grooves created by the rainwater streaming downhill. This makes it difficult to create easy routes, but with this collection I think I created a set of routes that are well suited for the gravel rider who seeks an easy, non-technical route.
Please let me know what you thought of the route and were it can be improved.
Enjoy!
Wijnandsrade - Schimmert - 47km - 340hm
Not the usual South Limburg environment. We're heading for the region north of Valkenburg. This area between Wijnandsrade and Schimmert has long straight gravel road between the fields
47km - 430hm
Valkenburg - Gulpen - Banholt - 40km - 300hm
My best effort at creating a flat gravel ride in the beautiful South, but even this ride does have a real climb in it. Nevertheless this ride is almost flat and very suited for a starting rider.
40KM - 300HM
Gronsveld - Gulpen - 44km - 460hm
Relatively easy gravel ride, though there are two longer climbs in them, technically easy but hard for the calves. The views make up for the sweat though.
44KM - 460HM
Strade Giallo - 55km - 480hm
Een combinatie van Zuid Limburgse gravel stroken ten zuiden van Valkenburg en de meer stoffige, gele wegen ten noorden er van.
55km - 480hm
