You really need to know how to find this one. It is a maintenance road to the dam.
No traffic is allowed, but they turn a blind eye to cyclists.
Lift your bike over the fence and there is a beautiful tarmac road in front of you with beautiful hairpin bends.
You can take the best photo from the dam downwards.

Deze moet je echt weten te vinden. Het is een onderhoudsweggetje naar de stuwdam.
Er mag geen verkeer komen, maar voor fietsers knijpt men een oogje dicht.
Fiets over het hek tillen en er ligt een prachtige asfaltweg voor je met schitterende haarspeldbochten.
Mooiste foto kun je maken vanaf de stuwdam naar beneden.
