A nice little climb to leave the bustle of the main road (SS17) behind you. The first few kilometres are mostly tree counting, but be patient - the closer you eventually get to Calascio, the more beautiful it gets.

Een prettig klimmetje om de drukte van de verkeersader (SS17) achter je te kunnen laten. De eerste kilometers is het vooral nog bomen tellen, maar heb geduld - hoe dichter je uiteindelijk bij Calascio komt, hoe mooier het wordt.
