Hilversum is of course mainly known for its celebrities and villas. You may even see a celebrity when the tour takes you through the broadcasting city. Furthermore, you cycle almost continuously through the beautiful and varied nature that surrounds Hilversum. The tour starts in the Loosdrechtse Plassen where you can enjoy panoramic views and the many water and meadow birds. Southeast of the city you drive onto the heath of the Loosdrechtse Bos. This forest changes into Boswachterij De Vuursche, where deciduous and coniferous trees alternate. A little later you drive almost unnoticed into the vast Goois Nature Reserve. The view opens again when you cycle over the Westerheide and Zuiderheide. In the southern part of the Bussumerheide you can see heather fens that were formerly used to wash the sheep. You enter the Spanderwoud via the Zanderij Crailo Nature Bridge, which is 800 meters long and 50 meters wide, the largest ecoduct in the world.
