Fine climb as a warm-up for the next 2. Climb itself is nothing special. Good road surface though and very quiet. After the junction where I rode to the right and the Coll de Canes goes straight on, the climb nov becomes more restful and the scenery more beautiful.

Was on holiday in Platja D'Aro and drove to Olot by car. I first drove to the left up the Collada de Sentigosa on N260a and GI-521 and then via Sant Joan de les Abadesses over the coll de Burgarès (Pla d' en Plata) via the GIV-5211 before going up the Vallter2000. After the descent at Sant Pau de Segúries, you can turn left off the C-38 onto the C-153a and ride through another beautiful natural area until you come out on the N-260 again. Very nice round

Prima klim als opwarmer voor de volgende 2. Klim zelf is niet bijzonder. Wel goed wegdek en erg rustig. Na de splitsing waar ik naar rechts reed en de Coll de Canes rechtdoor gaat, wordt de klim nov rustgevender en de omgeving mooier.

Was op vakantie in Platja D'Aro en met de auto naar Olot gereden. Ik reed eerst naar links de Collada de Sentigosa op N260a en GI-521 en daarna via Sant Joan de les Abadesses de coll de Burgarès (Pla d' en Plata) over via de GIV-5211 voordat ik de Vallter2000 opreed. Na de afdaling bij Sant Pau de Segúries kun je linksaf slaan van de C-38 af naar de C-153a en rijd je nog door een mooi natuurgebied totdat je weer uitkomt op de N-260. Erg mooi rondje
