Beautiful scenery and also a beautiful climb, but for the part that is not asphalted you need to have at least a gravel bike. I did this descent and climb on a road bike, but that is not recommended. 5CM deep loose sand at the bottom of the climb and gravel the size of golf balls higher up. And that on stretches where the garmin indicates "23％". Ended up with 2 punctures too, but nevertheless enjoyed Denmark's #1.... read more

Prachtige omgeving en ook een prachtige klim, maar voor het stuk wat niet geasfalteerd is dien je wel te beschikken over minimaal een gravelbike. Ik heb deze afdaling en klim gedaan op de racefiets, maar dat is geen aanrader. 5CM diep mul zand onderaan de klim en hogerop grind tot het formaat golfbal. En dat op stukken waar de garmin "23％" aangeeft. Uiteindelijk ook 2 keer lek gereden, maar desondanks genoten van de #1 van Denemarken.
