This is really nasty style. The first stretch consists of concrete slabs and after a while it does become nice tarmac. Beautiful views behind you. Do keep pedalling or you will fall over. If you like it steep and are in the area, definitely do it. The ascent from the other side is rather scary as a descent despite not encountering any traffic. Due to the heavy rain here, it can be slippery.
Dit is echt smerig stijl. Het eerste stuk bestaat uit betonplaten en na verloop van tijd wordt het wel aardig asfalt. Mooie uitzichten achter je. Wel blijven trappen want anders val je om. Als je van steil houdt en je bent in de buurt zeker doen. De beklimming van de andere kant is als afdaling nogal eng ondanks dat je geen verkeer tegenkomt. Door de vele regen hier kan het glad zijn.
