Quiet climb along a clear cycle path through greenery, with a long slight run-up. It doesn't amount to much until the end, where it suddenly picks up speed. Short, unexpected jab that adds just a little extra spice to an otherwise smooth climb.... read more

Quiet climb along a clear cycle path through greenery, with a long slight run-up. It doesn't amount to much until the end, where it suddenly picks up speed. Short, unexpected jab that adds just a little extra spice to an otherwise smooth climb.

Rustige klim over een vrijliggend fietspad door het groen, met een lange lichte aanloop. Het stelt weinig voor tot het einde, waar het plots even pittig oploopt. Kort, onverwacht prikje dat net wat extra pit geeft aan een verder vlotte klim.

A short, easy climb that is especially fun because it picks up unexpectedly for a while, pleasantly interrupting the monotonous towpath along the Zuid-Willemsvaart canal.

Een kort, eenvoudig klimmetje dat vooral leuk is omdat het onverwacht even aantrekt en zo het monotone jaagpad langs de Zuid‑Willemsvaart prettig onderbreekt.

Difficult is different, but it breaks up the towpath along the Zuid-Willemsvaart so nicely. I'd take a left when you get to the canal :)

Moeilijk is anders, maar het breekt zo lekker het jaagpad op langs de Zuid-Willemsvaart. Ik zou even linksaf slaan als je bij het kanaal bent :)

Up through the forest on a separate cycle path. After the first climb, a small descent followed by the second climb. You would expect the profile to be wrong, given the slightly hilly nature of the surroundings, but it is really hard work in the last part. Really good climbing which is rare in this region. In addition, you also have good tarmac (although there are a few root bumps in the approach to the climb) and a nice green environment. Recommended to me.

Een vrijliggend fietspad door het bos omhoog. Na een eerste klimmetje een kleine afdaling waarna de tweede klim begint. Je verwacht dat het profiel niet klopt gezien de maar licht heuvelachtige omgeving maar het is dus echt onverwacht aanpoten in het laatste gedeelte. Echt lekker klimmen wat in deze regio maar weinig voorkomt. Daarbij heb je ook nog goed asfalt (wel enkele wortelhobbels in de aanloop naar de klim) en een lekker groene omgeving. Aanrader wat mij betreft.

Nice if you are in the area, but nothing exciting. Good cycle path through the woods with good surface

Leuk als je in de buurt bent, maar niets spannends. Prima fietspad door de bossen met goede ondergrond
