From the first steep part on, it is a nice and quiet climb, but the preceding part is certainly not overcrowded. There are 2 little bites at the beginning and the end, in between you can enjoy a pleasant, sloping track through nature.... read more

Vanaf het eerste steile deel een mooie en rustige beklimming, maar het voorafgaande deel is zeker niet overdreven druk. Er zijn 2 kuitenbijtertjes aan het begin en het einde, hiertussen kan je genieten van een aangename, glooiende baan door de natuur.
