Nice climb from the lake. The first part is very nice and fairly quiet. When you make the 180-degree turn to the next D-road, it does get busy again and thus a little less fun. The cars're otherwise polite though, but there are just so many of them. Then again, you do have beautiful views along the way.... read more

Nice climb from the lake. The first part is very nice and fairly quiet. When you make the 180-degree turn to the next D-road, it does get busy again and thus a little less fun. The cars're otherwise polite though, but there are just so many of them.

Mooie klim vanaf het meer. Het eerste deel is erg mooi en tamelijk rustig. Als je de 180 graden draai maakt naar de volgende D-weg, dan wordt het wel weer druk en daarmee ook iets minder leuk. De auto's zijn verder wel beleefd hoor, maar het zijn er gewoon zo ontzettend veel.

Je hebt dan wel weer een mooi uitzicht onderweg.
