Taken downhill in the morning with little traffic, it's nice to be quiet in nature!

Emprunté en descente le matin avec peu de circulation, c'est chouette d'être tranquille dans la nature !

Bit busy road, because one of the few roads out of the valley. Swings at the beginning of hairpin to hairpin what provides a nice view. At the top, the climb begins.

Beetje drukke weg, want een van de weinige wegen uit de vallei. Slingert aan het begin van haardspeld naar haarspeld wat voor een leuk uitzicht zorgt. 'boven' aangekomen begint de klim/vals plat naar het plateau.
