Schaapsallee climb

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Wonderful long and steady climb up from Laag Soeren towards the heart of the Veluwezoom.
Nowhere steep and sometimes even with small parts slightly down. Really a nice wide way to make yourself tired or to misunderstand the length.
The top of the climb is at the end of the segment, turn left at the end of the steep final seesaw, which has already hurt many a pair of legs ;-)

View of the Posbank and Heather Fields

Highlight • Viewpoint

One of the notable climbs, Beekhuizenseweg, starts near the village of Rheden and is highly popular among cyclists for its scenic beauty and the challenge it offers. Despite not being an exceptionally long or high climb, it provides a significant test of endurance and strength.

The climb up Beekhuizenseweg is about 2 kilometers long, with an elevation gain of approximately 90 meters. The average gradient is around 4.5%, but there are steeper sections that can reach up to 12%. Some parts of the climb offer very nice views over the surrounding nature and the valley.

Emma Pyramid climb

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

The Bovenallee climb (known locally as the 'Emma Piramide' after the wooden Emma Piramide tower / viewing point, just off the top of the climb) is a nasty short and beautiful climb. It even features the only hairpin corner of the Netherlands (outside of the south tip of Limburg).
It's a great little climb to push it hard. When making the descent, please be careful in the corners at the bottom of the descent as they are sharp and you don't always have a clear view on the rest of the road.

Ruurlo Castle

Highlight • Castle

Ruurlo Castle is definitely worth getting off your bike for. This imposing historic structure originally dates from the fourteenth century, but its current appearance is largely due to later renovations in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The last major renovation took place in the nineteenth century. Inside you can have a snack and a drink in the adjacent restaurant Oranjerie Ruurlo. The orangery is open from Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00 am for coffee, lunch and drinks.

Time left? Inside you will also find Museum More, a treasure trove for art and heritage.
