Great climb that is nice and quiet. At the end, the road dead-ends at a large broadcasting station, so you will encounter very little traffic there. The end is quite steep though, depending on your cassette it can be a bit of a rake. At the top you have great views of the surrounding area. The road surface is fine and you can keep going in the descent on the straights.... read more

Prima klim die lekker rustig is. Aan het eind loopt de weg dood bij een groot zendstation, dus dat deel kom je extraweinig verkeer tegen. Het einde is overigens wel pittig steil, afhankelijk van je cassette kan dat een beetje harken zijn. Bovenop heb je een prachtig uitzicht over de omgeving. Het wegdek is prima en je kunt in de afdaling op de rechte stukken mooi doorknallen.

You don't expect such a mountain in this area! I hardly encountered any traffic! From the residential area you drive into the forest and then the climb begins, the climb itself is mostly a runner with not too steep pieces in the beginning.

Zo'n berg verwacht je niet in dit gebied! Ik kwam nauwelijks verkeer tegen! Vanuit de woonwijk rijdt je zo het bos in en dan begint de klim, de klim zelf is veelal een loper met in het begin niet te steile stukken.
