Very scenic climb, especially after Elm, basically until Elm gradients are very gentle, very low traffic even on weekends, good road quality. There's water fountain, at the bottom of the last 3km climb. Road is narrow there, and in multiple places cattle gates are located, just pass them gently, make sure you don't leave it open by accident. There's cafe at the very top with open terrace and stunning view, keep in mind that it might be chilly even in summer.
