TTT 1999 05 Rondje Peel

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 TTT has the start and end points in Sterksel and is mainly about small roads. Sterksel, home of Carnival Association De Ossedrijvers.
The ox in Sterksel:
This image recalls the mining activities, in which 14 oxen were also deployed. It was designed and made by locals and plays a role during carnival. A young man who is not yet married at the age of 30 has 'seen the ox' and that does not go unnoticed by the victim. (Source: Wikipedia).

From Sterksel via Maarheeze to Heibloem in Limburg, and then via Sevenum to Ysselsteyn. German soldiers and bad Dutch from the Second World War are buried in the Limburg village of Ysselsteyn.

Nowhere else in the Netherlands are so many dead people from the Second World War together as in the Limburg village of Ysselsteyn. They are German soldiers and bad Dutchmen, so that cemetery is unknown to many people. (Source: Trouw).

The German military cemetery at Timmermannsweg 75 in Ysselsteyn (Limburg) is the largest military cemetery in the Netherlands with 31,598 dead. It is also the only German military cemetery in the Netherlands. German soldiers of the Second World War were mostly buried there. There are also Dutch people who fell in German military service (in particular the SS). (Source: Wikipedia).

Because I have not (yet) driven this route myself, this route gets 3 stars.

Route details:
Enough options to stop for coffee and / or lunch along the way.
