The route goes counterclockwise and you soon leave Heusden, you cycle on a narrow cycle path along a golf course and then through agricultural area to National Park de Groote Peel. Here you follow a gravel bike path on the edge of the nature reserve. You have now arrived in the province of Limburg and the route continues through Central Limburg. After passing the small village of Ospeldijk you cycle again along the Groote Peel. The route then goes towards the village of Meijel with some gravel roads in between.

At a roundabout where two main roads intersect, you cross the Noordervaart and soon you come back to a series of gravel roads along the Afwateringskanaal, nature reserve de Waterbloem, along nature reserve Brookberg, again a bit along the Afwateringskanaal, through the Heldense Bossen, and the Kesselse Bergen. You have now arrived at the easternmost part of the route near the village of Baarlo (you do not enter the village itself). The route now goes north of the village of Panningen, now much more through agricultural area and occasionally through nature reserve (Vlakbroek), but again an alternation of paved and gravel roads. Break place is after 55 km at mini-camping de Peelweide.

Then the route goes through nature reserves with gravel roads (nature reserves Marisberg, Kwakvors, Scherliet) and you cycle on a gravel road along the Deurne Canal. You will then arrive in peel village Neerkant where some gravel strips are still being looked up. Then you cycle on most paved roads to the finish in Heusden, with one more gravel strip on the edge of the Groote Peel.

46% of the route consists of gravel paths and gravel roads, divided into 28 strips ranging in length from 150 meters to 3.5 km.
