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 3 day TankTasTocht starts at Bastion Hotel in Nijmegen. As quickly you drive along the Waal on beautiful roads (see photo above this review), at Herwijnen you cross the Waal with the ferry "Herwijnen-Brakel", and then cross the Bergsche Maas at Drongelen with the ferry "Drongelen- Waalwijk ". You drive a stretch along the Bergsche Maas to arrive at the possible lunch location in Rijen via Waspik. After Rijen a little bit of the Netherlands and then the border to Belgium to drive via Rucphen to Roosendaal. You are now halfway this TankTasTocht, you can choose to stay in the Bastion Hotel, or to eat and drive, the choice is yours.
The route continues after Roosendaal via Achtmaal to Braken and then to the possible coffee stop on the border of Belgium and the Netherlands in Belgium to drive. We continue via the Kempen to cross the border with Belgium at Schaft, and if we are in Belgium, you can just as well enjoy a delicious Belgian Friet, you can stop at route point 119.
You then stay in Belgium until you enter the motorway at Maasmechelen to cross the Maas, so you are back in the Netherlands. The 2nd exit and you are at the final destination of this TankTasTocht. Again you have the choice, stay overnight, or eat and go home.
Because I have not driven this route (yet) myself, this route gets 3 stars.
Particularities:
I have built a possible stopping point in the route after every 1 1/2 hours of driving. Of course you are free to stop wherever you want.
rp 28 - Possible stop in Neerijnen
rp 34 - Use skip point to avoid unnecessary detours on the Here map
rp 41 - Use skip point to avoid unnecessary detours on the Here map
rp 51 - Possible stop in Rijen
rp 72 - Bastion Hotel in Roosendaal
rp 94 - Possible stop on the border between Belgium and the Netherlands
rp119 - Possible stop in Meeuwen-Gruitrode Belgium (Frituur van Geert)
rp127 - Bastion Hotel Geleen.
Why in 1993 was chosen for this name of the TankTasTocht is unclear, whether it is plotted in 3 days. I think you can drive this TTT in 1 day, if you leave early, or in 2 days. In Roosendaal at the Bastion Hotel you are exactly halfway along the route. If you want to drive this TTT in 2 days, you can split the route with the split option in the MyRoute-app Toolkit (you must have a Gold account for this).
rp.51 Rijen (Noord-Brabant)
rp.119 Meeuwen-Gruitrode (Belgiƫ)
