This has nothing to do with cycling any more. The first part of the climb is impossible to do on a cycling bike. Soft ground with large loose stones make you slip. 2nd steep part is also full of loose stones and is so steep that the combination of surface/rising percentage makes it impossible to cycle up.

Dit heeft niks meer met fietsen te maken. Het eerste gedeelte van de beklimming is op een wielerfiets onmogelijk te doen. Zachte ondergrond met grote losse stenen zorgen ervoor dat je wegglijdt. 2e steile gedeelte ligt ook vol losse stenen en is zodanig steil dat er door de combinatie van ondergrond/stijgingspercentage niet omhoog te fietsen is.

Extreme in very many facets so reflect before you begin. The route to the summit is rather cumbersome but that's because the direct route from the main entrance is only for pedestrians. However, the designated climbing route is allowed (also because of the MTB bike park) and there is some cycling... although it is mostly done by e-MTB's.
Turning sharp left, you can see the summit far above you and then you realise it's going to be tough.
The first part of the route is an asphalt bike path and the flatter parts of the route consist of excellent and fine gravel which is also fine to ride on a road bike. On the steep sections, the sides are almost always fine but due to washout by rainfall, parts in the middle can be a bit coarser and you will at least need some wider tyres there.... and even then it is questionable whether you will reach the top, because while the first - already extremely - steep part is doable, the second one is a lot longer - and even steeper. Staying on your bike here is quite a challenge even with an MTB. At the top here and there are beautiful views and the euphoria of accomplishing an extreme achievement. Oh yes the scenery is also beautiful but you only realise that on the flat stretches.

Extreem in heel veel facetten dus bezint eer ge begint. De route naar de top is nogal omslachtig maar dat komt omdat de directe route vanaf de hoofdingang alleen voor voetgangers is. De aangegeven klimroute is echter wel toegestaan (ook vanwege het MTB-bikepark) en er wordt ook wel gefietst... al gebeurt het veelal door e-MTB's.
Bij het scherp linksaf slaan zie je de top ver boven je liggen en dan besef je dat het zwaar gaat worden.
Het eerste deel van de route is een asfaltfietspad en de vlakkere delen van de route bestaan uit uitstekend en fijn gravel wat ook met een racefiets prima te fietsen is. Op de steile stukken zijn de zijkanten vrijwel altijd wel prima maar door uitspoeling door regenval kunnen delen in het midden wat grover zijn en daar zal je toch minimaal wat bredere bandjes nodig hebben.... en dan nog is het de vraag of je bovenkomt want waar het eerste - al extreem - steile stuk nog doenbaar is, is de tweede een stuk langer - en nog steiler. Hier op de fiets blijven is zelfs met een MTB al een hele uitdaging. Bovenaan her en der mooie uitzichten en de euforie van het leveren van een extreme prestatie. O ja de omgeving is ook mooi maar dat besef je alleen op de vlakke stukken.
