Nothing to climb (;-)) but just unexpectedly nice. A small asphalt road at right angles to the cycle path so there is no speed. One of the steeper climbs on the Heuvelrug. It starts off nicely but after the turn you really start to feel it. At the top is a sign 10%. That might be a bit exaggerated but at the steepest part you do approach this percentage and you don't have that much in this area.... read more

Niets naar klimmetje (;-)) maar juist onverwacht lekker. Een klein asfaltweggetje wat haaks staat op het fietspad dus vaart heb je idd niet. Eén van de steilere klimmetjes op de Heuvelrug. Het begint al meteen lekker maar na de bocht ga je het pas echt voelen. Boven staat een bordje 10%. Dat is misschien wat overdreven maar op het steilste stukje nader je dit percentage toch wel en dat heb je niet veel in deze omgeving.

To climb, because you go from a narrow bike path through a blind curve directly into the climb with sand in the curve. In short: you start with less than 5 km/h on a climb that immediately becomes quite steep. Very nice descent on the other side.

Naar klimmetje, omdat je van een smal fietspad door een blinde bocht de klim direct opdraait met zand in de bocht. Samengevat: je begint met minder dan 5 km/u aan een klim die direct vrij steil wordt. Wel erg fijn afdalen aan de andere kant.
