This route first takes you through the Kootwijk Forest Reserve. Here, you ride through a mix of vast deciduous and coniferous forests. Take a deep breath and enjoy the fresh air. The village of Kootwijk is completely surrounded by the Veluwe nature. You will see several beautiful old farmhouses here, and you will also pass the sixteenth-century Reformed Church. Along the Kootwijk Dunes, you cycle to the Caitwickerzand, a small nature reserve where you will see oaks, grasses, Scots pines, and juniper bushes. At Buds Tolhuis, it is time for a delicious lunch, after which you ride the second part of the route full of energy. Finally, you cycle to Radio Kootwijk, which was built in the 1920s for radiotelegraphic contact with the then Dutch East Indies. The area around the former transmitter is designated as a protected village landscape.
