Very nice turtleneck! A hidden gem as far as I'm concerned. The road surface is very bad and there is even a section of 30 metres a 12％ completely unpaved. On the road bike, I was forced to dismount here anyway. There is little to see at the top but halfway up the view is fantastic. Be mainly careful when going down this side for the holes in the tarmac and gravel on the road and in the bends. I got a puncture on the descent due to a pebble so you have been warned!... read more

Erg mooie col! Wat mij betreft een verborgen juweeltje. Het wegdek is erg slecht en er is zelf een stuk van 30 meter a 12％ volledig onverhard. Op de racefiets was ik genoodzaakt om hier toch even af te stappen. Bovenop valt weinig te zien maar halverwege is het uitzicht fantastisch. Pas voornamelijk op als je deze kant afdaalt voor de gaten in het asfalt en het grind op de weg en in de bochten. Ik kreeg een stootlek in de afdaling door een kiezel dus je bent gewaarschuwd!
