A completely asphalted road (unexpectedly good asphalt, although there can be dirt on the road because of the forest) which goes up through the forest in two hairpin bends. Because of the forest, there are no views, but this climb certainly has a lot to offer in terms of spice, with considerable percentages in the beginning that lighten during the climb (compensates nicely for the fatigue in the legs ;-)) and where you won't encounter any bumps. Turning right at the top (left goes to a hotel) offers a particularly nice descent.
Een geheel geasfalteerd weggetje (onverwacht goed asfalt, wel kan er vuil op de weg liggen vanwege het bos) wat met twee haarspeldbochten door het bos omhoog loopt. Vanwege het bos geen uitzichten maar deze klim heeft qua pit zeker veel te bieden met in het begin flinke percentages die gedurende de klim iets lichter worden (compenseert mooi de vermoeidheid in de benen ;-)) en waar je verder geen instinkers tegenkomt. Op de top rechtsaf gaan (links gaat naar een hotel) biedt een bijzonder fraaie afdaling (let op: enkele scherpe bochten op het eind).
