The climb starts with a tricky section through the city. Once you are out of the city, it gets easier and you have views over the bay and the valley. However, the road surface is not great. The last bit to the viewpoint, the road surface is good again, which is just as well, because here it gets a little steep before you can start enjoying the views in several directions at the top.... read more

The climb starts with a tricky section through the city. Once you are out of the city, it gets easier and you have views over the bay and the valley. However, the road surface is not great.

De klim begint met een lastig deel door de stad. Als je uit de stad bent wordt het makkelijker en heb je uitzichten over de baai en de vallei. Het wegdek is echter niet geweldig.

Het laatste stukje naar het uitzichtpunt is het wegdek weer goed en dat is maar goed ook, want hier wordt het nog even steil voordat je boven van het uitzicht naar meerdere kanten kunt gaan genieten.
