Strava-art or walking art

Bagels & Beans’ walking routes can be found on Strava, the online platform for sharing your cycling or walking routes with others. Routes in the shape of a special figure are called Strava-art. Although these can really only be admired from the air, the platform also makes the walking art visible to the unwary. Bagels & Beans has created several routes that may be walked, run, hopped or fluttered. With each movement, participants draw outlines of giant figures created by Bagels & Beans.

A different perspective

Bagels & Beans creates Strava-art and asks everyone to go outside and simply let themselves be amazed by nature in all its simplicity. To ground ourselves while walking and let go of the worries, thoughts or events that sometimes put us on ‘autopilot’. Rest and attention to yourself have been at the heart of Bagels & Beans company from day one. Taking that moment for yourself, but now outside with a coffee in hand and the walking art of Bagels & Beans. Filling your lungs with fresh air. Letting all your worries fly by. So that afterwards you look at life through a new lens. Putting everything in a bird’s eye perspective with both feet on the ground. And that’s important, because a fresh look creates a different perspective.

Quadenoord nature campsite

In cooperation with nature campsite Quadenoord, Bagels & Beans gives away one weekend stay on the beautiful estate among the participants. This special estate is located on the southernmost part of the Dutch nature reserve the Veluwe. Natuurcamping Quadenoord is committed to protecting the pure and flourishing nature of the estate every day.
