Mountain bike trail
Zandvoort has a challenging mountain bike trail. It is located in the dune area next to the race track. It is a fairly technical round. There are small, tough climbs with steep descents and sharp turns. The course has a special bend: the Laar-Wall, a 300-meter long ‘Wall-ride’, with a curve of 44 meters long and 4 meters high. It is the largest Wallride in the Netherlands. It gives the job an extra experience. There are some bridges. Only in the summer can the sand be a bit looser, which makes driving more difficult.
The length of the trail is 9.8 kilometers. An electric bicycle pump is available. The track is maintained by the Dunebikers. They try to keep the trail passable. The route is marked with poles with the international MTB sign in green/pink (triangle with 2 circles below). The green signs indicate the main route and the pink signs are cut-off points to make it less difficult for novice mountain bikers.
You can start the route by taking the main entrance of the circuit Burgemeester van Alphenstraat 108 2041KP in Zandvoort. Then go behind the grandstand towards the Tarzanbocht. Here you will find the gate, where the route begins. You can also go to the car park next to the BMW Driving Experience. The start of the course is at the beginning of the noise barrier.
It is important to know that the Zandvoort mountain bike route is not a public area and is surrounded by nature reserves. The course is located on municipal land, which is partly leased by Circuit Park Zandvoort. There is also cycling over a few meters of protected nature reserve, which is currently tolerated (no maintenance is allowed here either). Maintenance and developments on the route can be followed on Facebook. Driving off the track is never allowed, not even on track terrain. Outside the paths will be inspected immediately.
Because part of the ATB course is on the territory of the Circuit Park, it is not possible to use the course during events. The ATB trail is also used by hikers and visitors to the Circuit Park. Our starting point is that everyone who walks or cycles on the course treats each other with respect. Hikers beware cyclists and cyclists beware walkers.
