Good and fairly even ascent. Unfortunately, there is a lot of traffic as it is a major road. Little shade, so quite hot even in autumn.

Guter und recht gleichmäßiger Anstieg. Leider recht viel befahren da es sich um eine größere Straße handelt. Wenig Schatten dadurch selbst im Herbst recht heiß.

Not a very difficult climb, except when it is cold as in my case. The tarmac is quite rough and does not run very well. The views are quite nice but the traffic can be a disturbance as this is a fairly large connecting road. On the other hand, this does make the descent in either direction very clear and quick to cover.

Geen heel lastige klim, behalve als het koud is zoals in mijn geval. Het asfalt is vrij ruw en loopt niet zo lekker. De uitzichten zijn best mooi maar het verkeer kan een stoorzender zijn gezien dit een vrij grote verbindingsweg is. Anderzijds is de afdaling in beide kanten daardoor wel heel overzichtelijk en snel af te leggen.
