Beautiful and varied climb. It does contain 500 metres of gravel (from Ruitzhof to the border) but it is doable on the climb as it is mostly of good quality. In the beginning a nice hairpin turn and nice views over the valley. After the border, you enter the beautiful forest on tarmac roads that continue to the end. Fair to good tarmac, which can be dirty in the forest (no other traffic).... read more

Mooie en gevarieerde klim. Wel zit er 500 meter gravel in (vanaf Ruitzhof tot aan de grens) maar die is klimmend prima te doen want overwegend van goede kwaliteit. In het begin een leuke haarspeldbocht en leuke uitzichten over het dal. Na de grens ga je het mooie bos in over asfaltweggetjes die doorstijgen tot het eind. Redelijk tot goed asfalt, wat in het bos (geen ander verkeer) wel vies kan zijn.
