Much longer than many of the other famous climbs in the area. Don't underestimate the steep part in the last half, gradients reach 15％ which isn't pleasant with sore legs. There are quite a lot of cars on the road and not much space for overtaking. This might lead to some questionable overtakes. This is why I prefer the more quiet climb of Ibækvej (https://climbfinder.com/en/climbs/ibaekvej-ibaek). The whole climb is through a nice forest, which means the best view is on the road ... read more

The whole climb is through a nice forest, which means the best view is on the road approaching the climb.

Without a doubt one of my favourite climbs in Denmark. It has everything a good climb should have. Length (for Danish standards), steep gradients (16％ max), and some hairpin bends. The views on the climb could be better, but if you take the road from Vejle, then you have lot's of views of Vejle Fjord, the 6 Km before the climb.

Nice climb for people who want a challenge in Denmark. Just before you go under the bridge, when you have done about 200m of the climb, there is a traffic light, because there is only one traffic flow at a time under the bridge. There you do have the chance to get stuck on foot, if the light is red, but above all respect it and certainly do not drive on. Then it is still 1 km to the top with at one point a gradient of 11 to 12 percent over a distance of 200m. Keep to the right, because it is still a fairly busy road for traffic.

Leuke beklimming voor mensen die eens een uitdaging willen in Denemarken. Vlak voor je onder de brug gaat wanneer je al zo'n 200m van de klim hebt gedaan, staat er een verkeerslicht, omdat er maar 1 verkeersstroom tegelijk onder de brug kan. Daar heb je wel kans dat je te voet komt te staan, als het licht rood is, maar respecteer het vooral en rij zeker niet door. Daarna is het nog 1 km tot aan de top met op een bepaald moment een stijgingspercentage van 11 a 12 procent over een afstand van 200m. Hou vooral rechts aan, want het is nog een redelijk drukke weg voor verkeer.
