A long climb that never really gets difficult. Until the turn-off to Brahic, there is still some traffic, but after that, and certainly beyond Brahic, you ride through a desolate landscape and you can easily cycle for half an hour without crossing anyone.... read more

A long climb that never really gets difficult. Until the turn-off to Brahic, there is still some traffic, but after that, and certainly beyond Brahic, you ride through a desolate landscape and you can easily cycle for half an hour without crossing anyone.

Een lange beklimming die nooit echt lastig wordt. Tot de afslag naar Brahic is er nog wat verkeer, maar nadien, en zeker voorbij Brahic rijd je door een desolaat landschap en kan je makkelijk een halfuur fietsen zonder iemand te kruisen.
