Close to home<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At just under 9 car hours from Utrecht you\u2019ll find the Bregenzerwald. The town of \u2018Au\u2019 could be considered the gateway to the Bregenzerwald, but in fact every place in that area is perfect for starting your gravel adventure. The Vorarlberg region is well known to many for its winter sports. So be careful: the gravel routes in the Bregenzerwald are anything but flat. That said, there are certainly options for choosing a slightly flatter route, but if you\u2019re expecting routes like those in the Achterhoek or over the Lage Vuursche, you\u2019ll come home with a cold chill. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Faces and undiscovered places<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The bonus you do get back is the beautiful views over the Austrian Alps. That\u2019s why you end up choosing \u2018alpine gravel\u2019 in the Bregenzerwald and not for a round. Strade Bianche<\/a>. The gravel in the Alps always provides a different experience. You come to places that are otherwise not visible, or that are more difficult to cycle on a road bike. You may have to walk a little for that, but the reward is worth it. As you can see below, with the view of the Zitterklapfen. That is definitely a different experience than the Sallandse Heuvelrug. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
