The second half of the route can be quite an ordeal. However, you get plenty of shade, peace and quiet and, at the hairpin bends, impressive views back towards the valley and of neighbouring, completely wooded slopes. Pure nature, so to speak.... read more

The second half of the route can be quite an ordeal. However, you get plenty of shade, peace and quiet and, at the hairpin bends, impressive views back towards the valley and of neighbouring, completely wooded slopes. Pure nature, so to speak.

Die zweite Streckenhälfte kann schon eine ziemliche Qual sein. Man bekommt hier aber viel Schatten, Ruhe und an den Kehren auch beeindruckende Aussichten zurück Richtung Tal sowie auf benachbarte, komplett bewaldete Hänge. Also quasi Natur pur.

Near Altena in a side valley you find this beautiful and at times tough climb. The first part you sit between houses and you steer easy until you turn right at the end of the valley. From here it rises with double figures. You come through an old beech forest with occasional a view into the valley. Little traffic and good tarmac.

Vlakbij Altena in een zijdalletje vind je deze mooie en bij tijd en wijle pittige klim. Het eerste deel zit je tussen huizen en stig je gemoedelijk totdat je aan het eind van het dal rechtsaf gaat. Vanaf hier stijgt het met dubbele cijfers. Je komt door een oud beukenbos met af en toe een een uitkijk het dal in. Weinig verkeer en goed asfalt.
