One of the toughest climbs in this area. And then this one runs on excellent tarmac with some nice curves uphill. The curve in the road is obscure, so be careful with other traffic (which is still willing to drive here). Other than that, it goes up nicely with a nice finish at the end.

Eén van de zwaarste klimmen in deze buurt. En dan loopt deze ook nog over uitstekend asfalt met enkele fraaie bochten omhoog. Wel is de slinger in de weg onoverzichtelijk dus oppassen met ander verkeer (wat hier nog wel wil rijden). Verder loopt deze lekker omhoog met nog een leuke uitsmijter op het eind.

I really enjoyed this climb when I first discovered it, since then I try to pass by every now and then. I think the small bends are what I love most about it (and the steep punch at the end of course).

I like this climb.
This climb has a good road surface (asphalt). There is little or no traffic. It is not a tough climb but on the other hand it is challenging enough.
The climb is 1 km long with an average gradient of 4.7%.
The climb starts with modest percentages (4-5%). In the short middle part (from m 400 to m 500) we even have a short (false) flat section. After that, the percentages increase again. Don't overdo it here and keep some reserves for the last meters, because the steepest percentages are still to come (steepest 100m = 9,9%).

Ik vind dit wel een fijne klim.
Deze klim heeft een goed wegdek (asfalt). Er passeert weinig of geen verkeer. Het is geen zware klim maar anderzijds toch voldoende uitdagend.
De klim is 1 km lang met een gemiddeld stijgingspercentage van 4,7%.
De klim start met bescheiden percentages (4-5%). In het korte middenstuk (van m 400 tot 500) hebben we zelfs even een kort stuk (vals) plat. Nadien lopen de percentages terug op. Ga hier niet forceren en hou nog wat reserves voor de de laatste meters, want de steilste klimpercentages moeten dan nog komen (steilste 100m = 9,9%).

A great climb to really accelerate. The road surface is top notch, not steep so just fire on your outer blade. At the end just 'throw everything out' at the 10%. The road swings up a bit, which makes it less boring.

Heerlijke klim om flink gas te geven. Het wegdek is top, niet steil dus gewoon vlammen op je buitenblad. Op het laatst nog even 'alles eruit gooien' bij de 10%. De weg slingert wat omhoog, dat maakt 'm ook minder saai.
