Magical ascent to Etna. Little traffic, a few dogs and an amazing transportation through various landscapes all the way to the moon. 🌑
Passed 1 car in 18km. Road is like all roads in Italy, okay, few cracks and when descending two hands on the wheel! Views spectacular and the climb challenging. Very uneven (up to 16%), so you may push hard on the pedals, but also get recovery with flat sections. If you like a challenge, this is the route up from Nicolosi!
In 18km 1 auto voorbij zien komen. Weg is zoals alle wegen in Italië, oke, paar scheuren en bij het afdalen twee handjes aan het stuur! Uitzichten spectaculair en de klim uitdagend. Zeer onregelmatig (tot 16%), dus je mag flink duwen op de pedalen, maar krijgt ook herstel met vlakke stukken. Als je van een uitdaging houdt is dit de route omhoog vanuit Nicolosi!
