You drive through the desert region over rolling hills before gradually climbing upwards over serpentines. From time to time, a few paragliders fly overhead and you pass local Berber farms. On my second ascent, a group of hungry dogs took a liking to me. It's not the nicest thing to climb up. Luckily they were quite tired so they took a break after a few metres and then attacked again.

You drive through the desert region over rolling hills before gradually climbing upwards over serpentines. From time to time, a few paragliders fly overhead and you pass local Berber farms. On my second ascent, a group of hungry dogs took a liking to me. It's not the nicest thing to climb up. Luckily they were quite tired so they took a break after a few metres and then attacked again. Nothing happened to me except that I might have discovered my max. Pulse discovered 😅. From the top you can see into the distance and next to the desert you can see Lalla Takerkoust with the reservoir. Fantastically beautiful!

Man fährt durch die Wüstenregion über rollende Hügel bevor es dann über Serpentinen Schritt für Schritt nach oben geht. Ab und an fliegen einige Paraglider über einen und man kommt an lokalen Höfen der Berber vorbei. Bei meinem zweiten Anstieg hatte sich eine Gruppe hungriger Hunde an mir gefallen gefunden. Ist beim hochklettern nicht das schönste. Zum Glück waren Sie recht müde so dass Sie nach paar Metern pausieren und dann erneut angriffen. Mir ist nichts passiert außer, dass ich vllt meinen Max. Puls entdeckt habe 😅. Von oben sieht man dann in die Ferne und neben der Wüste ist Lalla Takerkoust mit dem Stausee zu sehen. Traumhaft schön!
