Local restaurants
Every weekend we take the bikes on a lovely circuit via this pancake/ veluwse restaurant. Go right out of our driveway down Albaweg, take first left on bike path through the golf course and onwards through the Gruffalo forest :). At the end of this path turn right and cross over the railway track (maybe you'll see the old steam train come by) and follow the gravel path up through the forest alongside the stream. If you continue along this path you'll get to the highest waterfall in the Netherlands - Loense Waterval. Turn back yourself and after a few minutes take the only track off to the left which brings you out next to Holiday Park Eldorado. Follow the tarmac road (Lage Bergweg) and Restaurant Het Jachthuis is on your right.
After lunch/ dinner/ some epic bouncing, continue on down Lage Bergweg until you come to the bridge. Turn right and cross back over the train tracks, and right again onto Albaweg. Follow Albaweg all the way home.
