Stay away! This climb is not road bike suitable. As far as I am concerned, it therefore does not belong on climbfinder. As a nice extra, you get drainage slots every few tens of metres over the entire climb. Not recommended... To end on a positive note. There is very little traffic (none!).... read more

Wegblijven! Deze klim is niet racefiets geschikt. Wat mij betreft, hoort ie dan ook niet thuis op climbfinder. Als leuk extraatje, krijg je om de paar tiental meter nog afwateringsgleuven over gans de klim. Afrader...
Om met een positieve noot te eindigen. Er is wel weinig verkeer (geen!).

This climb is not suitable for road bikes. With a mountain bike, it is challenging. Poor road surface.

Deze beklimming is niet geschikt voor de racefiets. Met een mountainbike is het een uitdaging. Slecht wegdek.

The surface is as mentioned not very good. The views on the other hand are nice.
