Level
The Dak van Netersel mountain-biking route is a black route: very difficult. Black routes are for truly competitive bikers, bike park fanatics or mountain bikers with experience abroad on rocky terrain. Falls here are always at high speed, the landing is more tricky and the surface, like in a rock garden, is often harder. It’s certainly not one for beginners! The route is classified by the NTFU.
