Tour of Tafelbergheide: Bussum, Laren and Huizen

Your route starts at Q-Bike in Laren. First you discover the vast Westerheide, which is wedged between Bussum, Hilversum and Laren. This area was formed in the Ice Age and clay loam, sand and gravel were extracted in the past. There are also ancient burial mounds on the Westerheide, some of which are very close to the road. Get off in the nice little fortified town of Naarden! You will later find a wealth of special flowers and herbs on the Tafelbergheide. The heath is about 200,000 years old and the height differences were already formed during the Ice Age. Cycling through the rolling area you have a beautiful view of the clay pits, which were created when the former residents took clay from the heath to build their farms.
