Climb that is largely in very quiet surroundings. You can see the first part when you approach and it goes up nicely. At the church you turn right into a steep hollow road where it takes some effort. Then the road flattens out and runs first through farmland and then into the woods where there is no other traffic (at most a cyclist - you are following the junction network - or a walker) and where you pass a WW2 memorial. Eventually, you even pick up a piece of the High Fens which can be seen from the vegetation after which the tarmac (and thus the climb) ends. The road actually remains reasonable across the board but sometimes it is only possible to drive in the middle because the sides are chipped. Some grit in places, though.
Klim die grotendeels in een zeer rustige omgeving ligt. Het eerste deel zie je bij het aanrijden al mooi liggen en loopt lekker op. Bij het kerkje ga je rechtsaf een steile holle weg in waar het even aanpoten is. Daarna vlakt de weg af en loopt deze eerst door agrarisch gebied en daarna het bos in waar geen ander verkeer meer is (hooguit een fietser - je volgt het knooppuntennetwerk - of een wandelaar) en waar je langs een WO2-monument komt. Uiteindelijk pik je zelfs nog een stuk van de Hoge Venen mee wat aan de begroeiing te zien is waarna het asfalt (en dus de klim) ophoudt. De weg blijft eigenlijk wel redelijk over de hele linie maar soms is alleen in het midden rijden mogelijk omdat de zijkanten afgekalfd zijn. Wel wat gruis op sommige plekken.
