For a lowlander like me, this is a nice climb to find the climbing legs again. Long, regular and not really steep. What made it tougher for me were sections with a headwind and I had also underestimated the shade a bit. This made it quite a struggle on this day with wind from the south and 30+ degrees.
You climb up here on a narrow road along the ridge. Regularly, you have a view to the left that shows you how high you are already. There are also many bends and several small bridges over dry rivers. At the top is the reward: a beautiful view over the valley towards Puimichel.
Voor een laaglander zoals ik is dit een mooie beklimming om de klimbenen terug te vinden. Lang, regelmatig en niet echt steil. Wat het voor mij zwaarder maakte waren stukken met tegenwind en ook de schaduw had ik wat onderschat. Daardoor was het op deze dag met wind uit het zuiden en 30+ graden toch flink stampen.
Je klimt hier over een smalle weg langs de heuvelrug omhoog. Regelmatig heb je links een uitzicht waarbij je ziet hoe hoog je al bent. Ook heb je veel bochtjes en enkele kleine bruggetjes over drooggevallen riviertjes. Bovenop volgt de beloning: een prachtig uitzicht over het dal richting Puimichel.
