A rollercoaster ride on a bike
Many walkers know the Zevenheuvelenweg because of the Four Days Marches and many runners conquer the hills on this road during the Zevenheuvelenloop. What fewer people know is that this road is also a perfect cycling course. You may expect to climb seven hills, but in reality this road consists of a combination of four short climbs. That is a bit of a bite, but these climbs are not so heavy that you will completely sour. The climbs on this road follow each other quickly. Cyclists therefore sometimes call the Zevenheuvelweg'the rollercoaster\\\'.

The beginning of the Zevenheuvelenweg is located on the north side of Groesbeek next to a golf course. From here you cycle in the direction of Berg en Dal and Beek. The first part of the route consists of the toughest climb and from here you slowly but surely toil to the top of the Zevenheuvelenweg in Berg en Dal.
