Not a hard climb that offers beautiful views. For the first 4.5km, it doesn't even feel like a climb, but the passage through the gorge between the rocks with the river below with a thousand waterfalls is beautiful. There's enough shade all things considered. Almost magical is the passage through the forest where the climb flattens out. Asphalt that alternates between completely new stretches and shabby areas with even deep potholes. A drinking fountain at the top where you meet other cyclists. Many motorbikes relatively few cars.
Salita non dura che sa regalare bei panorami. Per i primi 4,5km non sembra nemmeno una salita però bellissimo il passaggio nella gola tra le rocce con il fiume più sotto che con mille cascate si fa sentire più sotto. C'è abbastanza ombra tutto sommato. Quasi magico il passaggio nel bosco là dove la salita spiana. Asfalto che si alterna tra tratti completamente nuovi a zone malandate con buche anche profonde. Una fontanella in cima dove incontri altri ciclisti. Molte motociclette relativamente poche auto.
I found this, despite the seemingly mild average gradient, a tough climb. The climb is very irregular, taking you from 5％ to 10％ and everything in between. Together with today's hot day, it got really hot on the way. Cooling down at a little fountain and eating something helped.
The climb itself is wonderful. The first part goes through a gorge. Here, there are sometimes places where you can enter the water. Because the climb is long, I would definitely do that when it is 30+. After about a third of the climb, the opportunity to cool down disappears. You get beautiful views in return. You pass every few kilometres a village with a bar or terrace. The descent on the other side is also delicious 15 kilometres just go crazy :)
This climb is for me a must if you are in the region.
Ik vond dit, ondanks het ogenschijnlijk milde gemiddelde stijgingspercentage een pittige klim. De klim is heel onregelmatig, waardoor je van 5％ naar 10％ gaat en alles er tussenin. Tezamen met de warme dag vandaag kreeg ik het even goed heet onderweg. Afkoelen bij een fonteintje en wat eten hielp.
De klim zelf is wonderschoon. Het eerste deel loopt door een kloof. Hier zijn soms plekken waar je het water in kunt. Omdat de klim lang is zou ik dat zeker doen als het 30+ is. Na ongeveer een derde van de klim verdwijnt die mogelijkheid tot afkoelen. Je krijgt er beeldschone vergezichten voor terug. Je passeert elke paar kilometer een dorpje met een barretje of terrasje. De afdaling aan de andere kant is ook heerlijk 15 kilometer even lekker los gaan :)
Deze klim is wat mij betreft een must als je in de regio bent.
