Route Summary
Since the beginning of the 1990s, Promotor has been issuing the so-called TankTasTochten. You understand that the name is still from the GPS-free era, when motorcyclists still searched their way on inland roads with a road book in the tank bag or routerol. The 173 ANWB Promoter TankTasTochten (TTT) were scanned by Henry ten Dam and signed by Leon Stolk in Mapsource and later placed as a Track in a .gpx file. These have been made available with the approval of ANWB Promotor via the website of MrGPS so that everyone can enjoy it. The 1st TTT is from 1992, so the route may be slightly different from the original.
I checked all route points and placed them neatly on the road. Also, if necessary, I have put the start point and end point of the route a bit further apart to avoid navigating directly to the end point and I have added the POI files from the start and end point just like a possible stopping point.
Finally, I created the route for TomTom, Garmin and MyRoute-app Navigation users.
With thanks to Henry, Leon, MrGPS and Promoter

RouteXpert Review
This beautiful route follows the roads of Prince Carnival and starts, where in South Limburg, just below Maastricht in Gronsveld near the exit of the A2 motorway. We drive via the Limburg hills to Vaals and then drive up to Midden-Limburg, where you can stop at Urpunt at junction 15 for a snack. We continue our journey and just before Roermond we turn left towards Altweerterheide, where we cross the border with Belgium and then cross it again at Hamont-Achel.
Through all these beautiful roads we drive through the Borkelsche Heide, where you can stop for a pancake lunch at the Family Suykerbuyck. You can see this restaurant at route point 43.
We continue via the Brabantse Kempen to Zundert, where you can once again stop for another snack. After the coffee the final stage of this TTT follows to Willemstad where you end the trip at "Het Wapen van Willemstad".
Because I have not driven this route (yet) myself, this route gets 3 stars.
