What a cool climb! The uphill main road is just "meh" but that is all compensated as soon as you turn left. It's raking for the advanced. Towards the end you have a breather, which is necessary because the views are breathtaking! Asphalt is superb and there is no traffic! Nice as a downhill too.... read more

Wat een gave beklimming! De oplopende hoofdweg is nog maar “meh”maar dat wordt allemaal gecompenseerd zodra je links af slaat. Het is harken voor de gevorderden. Tegen het eind heb je even een adempauze, en dat is nodig want het uitzicht is adembenemend! Asfalt is super en er is geen verkeer! Leuk ook als afdaling.
