About Heathland Gravel

We’ll be taking you to the Limburg heathland, away from the hustle. Where it’s just you and your bike. In the midst of nature’s beauty, as the heathland blossoms into a purple painting from mid-August to mid-September, you’ll see panoramic views all around. Your focus will be on your rhythm of breathing and pedal stroke. The heath will be building, the legs will be burning and the Heathland will guide you.
