Hill route

Heuvelroute

A collection of 18 cycling routes.

Overview

About this collection

In the mood for short climbs and fast descents? This collection bundles hilly cycling routes with enough sting for your legs. You'll mostly ride on quiet roads and bike paths, with the occasional track or trail. Most surfaces are smooth asphalt or concrete, but expect some gravel and cobblestones too. Occasionally, you'll hit a busier road—stay extra alert there.

Start wherever you like and combine the loops to taste: perfect for a spicy interval workout or a relaxed ride with some elevation gain. A road bike works fine; for the unpaved sections, 28 mm+ tyres or a gravel bike are a bit comfier.

Tip: keep control on descents, commit to your line on cobbles, and bring lights if you're riding into dusk. Have fun and pedal hard!
