This is actually a dead-start climb. You have to ride it down first to get up it. The surface is partly bad cobbles. Actually, you only come here if you live here or want to tick it off. The view at the top is nice, though.... read more

Dit is eigenlijk een dead-start-klim. Je moet hem eerst naar beneden rijden om hem op te kunnen rijden. Het oppervlakte is gedeeltelijk slechte kasseien. Eigenlijk kom je hier alleen als je hier woont of hem wil afvinken. Het zicht op de top is wel mooi.

Moderate climb on an agricultural road. Quiet location but not easy to get to the foot and it was hugely boggy. Rather a climb for a gravel or mountain bike.

Matige beklimming over een landbouwweg. Wel rustig gelegen maar niet makkelijk om naar de voet te raken en het lag enorm drassig. Eerder een klim voor een gravel- of mountainbike.
