Both in the ascent and descent, a lovely road - which is also forbidden to motorised traffic - , set in beautiful surroundings. Fine asphalt, varying percentages and a number of curves complete the picture. No steep gradients but the length makes itself felt nicely.

Zowel in de klim als in de afdaling een heerlijke weg - die ook nog verboden is voor gemotoriseerd verkeer - , gelegen in een fraaie omgeving. Prima asfalt, wisselende percentages en een aantal bochten maken het plaatje compleet. Geen heftige hellingsgraden maar de lengte laat zich wel lekker voelen.

Wonderful car-free climb, nice up and down, and ideal for popping uphill at a good pace, but then you will definitely feel it in your legs because of its length. The surroundings are beautiful. I would definitely make a detour for this :)

Heerlijke autovrije klim, lekker op en af, en uitermate geschikt om op een lekker tempo naar boven te knallen, maar dan zul je het ook zeker in de benen gaan voelen gezien de lengte. De omgeving is prachtig. Hier zou ik zeker een stukje voor omrijden :)

Beautiful winding car-free road through the woods, never very steep but still quite a few altimeters.
Nice combination with the Autoweg from Rhenen.

Prachtige kronkelende autovrije weg door het bos, nooit heel steil maar toch best wat hoogtemeters.
Mooie combi met de Autoweg vanuit Rhenen.

As a climb it is nothing but the defense road is just the most beautiful road on the Utrecht Ridge, always take the high side of the 'highway' to rhenen along, really spectacular.

Als klim stelt het niets voor maar de defensieweg is gewoon de allermooiste weg op de utrechtse heuvelrug, altijd de hoge kant van de 'autoweg' naar rhenen meepakken, echt spectaculair mooi.
