Especially interesting to drive along a quiet road, as this is rare in the area. You still have the Ring Road next to you, which means it is not really quiet. Once you get next to the Ring it does get a bit steep.

Vooral interessant om langs een rustige weg te rijden, gezien dit in de buurt zeldzaam is. Je hebt nog steeds wel de Ring naast je waardoor het dan ook niet echt rustig is. Eens je naast de ring komt wordt het wel even steil.

Hidden slope that is briefly very steep along the motorway. Quiet area, especially the spur can pick up some.

Verborgen helling die even heel steil is langs de autostrade. Rustige omgeving, vooral de uitloper kan wel wat pikken.

A slope that lies between the ring road and a rural area. Easy to reach via the cycle highway along the A12. As soon as you drive left in front of the tunnel, you realise that you are on a slope.

Een helling die tussen de ring en een landelijk gebied ligt. Makkelijk te bereiken via de fietssnelweg langs de A12. Van zodra je links voor de tunnel rijdt, heb je pas door dat je op een helling zit.

Car-free and good tarmac. If you turn left before the tunnel, you immediately see that the track rises steeper. Obviously not a col, but one of the nicer and longer kouters.

Autoluw én goeie asfalt. Als je voor het tunneltje linksaf gaat, zie je meteen dat de baan steiler omhoog gaat. Uiteraard geen col, maar wel een van de leukere en langere kouters.

Nice climb, not too long but steep enough to train your calves.
You can combine it with a few heavy cobblestone sections that are in the neighbourhood.

Leuke beklimming, niet te lang maar wel stijl genoeg om de kuitjes te trainen.
Je kan deze combineren met een paar zware kasseistroken die in de buurt liggen.
