Really busy with tourists and cars so time your climb well in advance to avoid them. Great climb, the gorge is special. Cheese isn’t bad either

Its lovely scenery. The bottom, (the steepest) part can be stupidly busy with tourists, coaches, walkers and the like.

A climb you actually do purely for the scenery, and not for the percentages. An ideal match: the mild gradient allows easier sightseeing ;-)

Een klim die je eigenlijk puur voor de omgeving doet, en niet voor de percentages. Een ideale match: de milde helling laat gemakkelijker sightseeing toe ;-)

Obviously the views are beautiful but overall it’s quite overrated. It flattens out quite quickly and unfortunately since it’s very popular it gets quite busy, especially during the weekend, sometimes you may have to wait in a queue!
