We included this slope in the route, but when we arrived at the car park we were not allowed to continue on our bikes because it was too steep. The parking attendant stuck to his guns so we left the bike and took a shuttle bus down to the beautiful castle. Well worth the trip, we saw several mountain bikers who did not have to cross the car park and people who got there via another route.... read more

Deze helling in de route opgenomen, maar bij aankomst op de parkeerplaats mochten we op de fiets niet verder omdat het te steil zou zijn. De parkeerwacht hielt voet bij stuk dus de fiets maar laten staan en met een pendelbus afgedaald naar de prachtige burcht.
Zeker de moeite waard, verschillende mountainbikers die niet over de parkeerplaats hoefden en mensen die via een andere route er bij kwamen hebben we er wel zien fietsen.
