MTB Route Lochem Map

Voted consisently among the best routes in the Netherlands. Climbing and descending along three hills on the outskirts of Lochem. By Dutch standards relatively steep and challenging. Maintained by volunteers to a high degree and therefore accessible year round. Not suitable for (absolute) beginners. Well trained mountainbikers will also find a challenge here. If you have the freedom, skip sundays as it will be fairly busy. Starting in Barchem will allow for an easy warm-up. Internationally marked in purple.
