Mountain biking & running

This is a fantastic area for mountain biking or running!
We sell MTB maps at reception. 
There are two beautiful MTB routes close to the campsite:

1) The blue route: 30 km through the forests of the Sallandse Heuvelrug. Towards Holten. You can pick up the route from the campsite; cycle out of the campsite and then into the forest along the Holterweg, which is also the Holterweg.
The route is marked with wooden posts bearing the international MTB symbol in blue (a triangle with two circles underneath). You will see the first sign at about the height of the heath. Unfortunately, this route is closed from April to October due to lizards.

The blue route, called Sallandse Heuvelrug, runs through the southern part of the Sallandse Heuvelrug. This area has been designated a National Park. This allows the natural area and landscape with its plants and animals to be protected as well as possible. The blue route mostly follows wider paved and unpaved paths, with some nice climbs and descents in a number of places. The elevation difference of the blue route is 185 metres.

The route can be combined with the purple route (18 kilometres) in Hellendoorn.

2) The purple route: 18 kilometres, with many elevation changes, towards Hellendoorn. The start is at Zwembad Het Ravijn, Piet Heinweg 16, 7441 GZ in Nijverdal.

The northern part of the Sallandse Heuvelrug is very popular with mountain bikers due to its hilly character. In this part of the area, a varied mountain bike route of approximately 18 kilometres (235 metres of elevation gain) has been created. This route is characterised by technical passages, elevation changes and fun single tracks.

The route can be ridden continuously with the blue route (30 kilometres) in Nijverdal-Holten.

You can hire a mountain bike at reception. Make sure you book in advance!
