Lovely climb, nicely gradual and winding through the forest. Reminded me strongly of the Rosier (Ardennes), but about one and a half times longer. The top came earlier than expected, always a good sign.
Heerlijke klim, mooi geleidelijk en kronkelend door het bos. Deed me sterk denken aan de Rosier (Ardennen), maar dan circa anderhalf keer langer. De top kwam eerder dan verwacht, altijd een goed teken.
Nice climb! I had few kilometres in the legs in the previous period, then this is a good col to start with. No frightening gradients, but because of the length still sufficient challenge. Road is narrow in the second part, but I encountered only two cars there, so that is not a problem. No great views, you cycle most of the time between the trees (nice in the shadow, it was hot!)
The climb is similar from the north in terms of slope, road surface and experience.
Leuke klim! Ik had weinig kilometers in de benen de periode er voor, dan is dit een prima col om mee te starten. Geen schrikbarende hellingspercentages, maar door de lengte toch voldoende uitdaging. Weg is het tweede deel wel smal, maar kwam maar daar maar twee auto's tegen, dus dat is geen probleem. Geen geweldige vergezichten, je fietst het grootste deel tussen de bomen (lekker in de schaduw, het was heet!)
De klim is vanuit het noorden vergelijkbaar qua helling, wegdek en beleving.
