Jasper Stuyven was crowned European champion in 2023 during the very first European Gravel Championships held in the Brabantse Wouden National Park. This is the Leuven native’s home region, which made the victory even sweeter. This cycling route follows 97% of the race course. You’ll disappear among the trees of Meerdaalwoud, venture onto single tracks through the greenery, climb cobblestone slopes, and then pick up speed on gravel roads through open fields.
