The last stretch you come out of the forest again and see beautiful views. The climbing is quite manageable. Finally, a cup of coffee at Zum Charlie to enjoy the scenery. The descent via the same road back is also nice, alternating long winding descents and short steep sections. So you see all the landmarks of the outward journey from a different angle. Beautiful ride!... read more

In de ochtend is het klimmen vooral in de schaduw. Het laatste stuk kom je weer uit het bos en zie je mooie vergezichten. Het klimmen is goed te doen. Tot slot een kopje koffie bij Zum Charlie om van de omgeving te genieten. Ook de afdaling via dezelfde weg terug is mooi, afwisselend lange slingerende afdalingen en korte steile stukjes. Zo zie je alle herkenningspunten van de heenweg van een andere kant. Mooie rit!
Did the climb at the end of June in the morning on a beautiful, sunny day and enjoyed it very much! The traffic was not too bad and the road surface is fine. The views become increasingly beautiful and the road calmer as the climb progresses. The climb is manageable up to kilometre 15, after that it is really tough climbing for several kilometres. Average 11％, but the counter very regularly ticked 15％. Save some energy for the final kilometre, as it makes raking to the top. Order drinks at Zum Charly and enjoy the view!
Heb de klim eind juni in de ochtend gedaan op een mooie, zonnige dag en heb er zeer van genoten! Het verkeer viel me alles mee en het wegdek is prima. De vergezichten worden steeds mooier en de weg steeds rustiger naarmate de klim vordert. De klim is tot kilometer 15 goed te doen, daarna is het een aantal kilometers echt pittig klimmen. Gemiddeld 11％, maar de teller tikte zeer regelmatig de 15％ aan. Bewaar nog wat energie voor de slotkilometer, want die maakt dat het harken naar de top is. Drankje bestellen bij Zum Charly en genieten van het uitzicht!
Beautiful climb in 3 parts. First a few km of serious climbing where you go through some tunnels (tail light recommended), a relatively easy middle section and a very tough final stage. Halfway up, the road suddenly becomes narrow, making it virtually impossible for cars to pass each other. As a cyclist, this doesn't bother you much. In the final section, you keep seeing percentages of 11-13％ until you enter a more open stretch with beautiful views. The toughest part, however, is saved until the final kilometre, after which you will have great views from the top.
Prachtige klim in 3 delen. Eerst een paar km serieus klimmen waarbij je door enkele tunnels gaat (achterlicht aan te raden), een relatief eenvoudig middenstuk en een zeer pittige slotfase. Halverwege wordt de weg ineens smal, waardoor auto’s elkaar nagenoeg niet kunnen passeren. Als fietser heb je hier weinig last van. In het laatste deel blijf je maar percentages van 11-13％ zien totdat je in een meer open stuk komt met prachtige vergezichten. Het pittigste stuk blijft echter bewaard tot de slotkilometer, waarna je vanaf de top een prachtig uitzicht hebt.
I did this climb mid June and it is wonderful. It starts to climb from the start and there is no hanging about, the Laterns valley is wonderful and the climb after Innerlaterns is quite a humdinger. The road surface is good and there is little traffic.
One of the best climbs I have done. Great to combine with other climbs in the area.
Nice climb on a quiet road. Long and hard though.
With beautiful autumn weather at the beginning of September, it was enjoyable.
Mooi klim over een rustige weg. Lang en zwaar dat wel.
Met mooi herfstweer begin september was het genieten.
