Merksplas-Hoogstraten (Green)

Jimmy rode this trail on 10-08-2021

The green loop of Hoogstraten is one for cruising more calmly, it is very accessible for every type of mountain biker. For the majority of the loop, you drive on wide paths through the Hoogstraatse forests (paths shared with walkers) or on farm roads and a weekend zone. You have beautiful views and for the more technical rider there is also a singletrack halfway through. Quite a nice one, it doesn't flow perfectly (sometimes pine cones, here and there a sank) but that doesn't really bother you, it contains both fast and slow bends so something for everyone. Note: there are no obstacles. I noticed that it is not ridden that often (in some places the single track has grown a bit closed, but still doable), so hereby a warm appeal to you dear reader to do something about it (to go there drive then, don't prune) ??. Important info concerns gpx's, the one I had loaded didn't know the single track yet (just like many other gpx's online apparently), hereby I suddenly offer my gpx. If you use it, you immediately navigate the entire route. Would you like to visually discover the loop and, above all, quickly discover what kind of adventure there is for you to experience? Then take a look at the following link. In it I ride and review the loop, for me it was plodding in the mud that day, so I already had a lot of fun with it!
