Nice play park for the rider and mtb-er. Also did it once on early Christmas morning. Then you have the kingdom all to yourself (where not, by the way).

Leuk speelpark voor de renner en mtb-er. Ook een keer op de vroege kerstochtend gedaan. Dan heb je het rijk alleen (waar niet trouwens).

Differs from the climb 'Col du VAM / VAM Mountain via Attero path' only because of the last stretch of cobblestones. Not only do the cobbles make it trickier, but it is also steeper. Slow approach, then a bit steeper, level off and then the cobblestone path. They are Drenth cobblestones instead of Flemish cobblestones. They are a bit smaller and more irregular. Part of the beautiful cycling park of Col du VAM and Dak van Drenthe. With smooth tarmac until the turnoff to the cobbles. All in all, a memorable climb, especially in this region.

Verschilt alleen van de klim 'Col du VAM / VAM-berg via Atteropad' door het laatste stuk kasseien. Niet alleen de kasseien maken het lastiger, maar het is ook steiler. Langzame aanloop, dan een stukje wat steiler, afvlakken en dan het kasseienpad. Het zijn Drenthse kasseien ipv Vlaamse kasseien. Ze zijn wat kleiner en onregelmatiger. Onderdeel van het mooie wielerpark van Col du VAM en Dak van Drenthe. Met glad asfalt tot aan de afslag naar de kasseien. Al met al een memorabele klim, zeker in deze regio.

A sturdy viaduct will hurt you more.
You can't really speak of cobblestones It's more like one of those big stones you can put in your aquarium. Looks heavier from a distance than it is... Lopertje.

Een stevig viaduct zal je meer pijn doen.
Van kasseien kan je niet echt spreken Het zijn eerder zo'n grote stenen die je in je aquarium kan leggen. Ziet er vanop afstand zwaarder uit dan het is... Lopertje.

I had expected the cobbled section to be tougher, judging by the reviews here. I had done the cobbles up to the junction before that day, so I already knew where the centre of gravity was. Once you turn onto the cobbles it's just a matter of giving it a good jolt and you're up. I had also expected it to be more uneven, and the stones looked reasonable.

Ik had de kasseienstrook zwaarder verwacht n.a.v. de beoordelingen hier. Tot aan de splitsing naar de kasseien had ik eerder gedaan die dag,dus wist ik al waar het zwaartepunt lag. Eenmaal de kasseien opdraaiend is het ff een flinke snok eraan te geven en je bent boven. Had het ook ongelijker verwacht,vond de stenen er redelijk bij leggen.

Heavy climb, on the cobblestones you quickly lose speed. A bit of flat in between is nice to catch your breath. If you push 2 times it's easy to keep up.

Zware klim, op de kasseien verlies je gauw snelheid. Stuk vlak ertussen is wel prettig om op adem te komen. Als je 2 keer flink aanzet dan is het goed vol te houden.

A steep climb, after catching your breath the treacherous cobblestones follow. On top of the rubbish dump you have a view of the waste processing plant and the rest of the area.

Venijnige steile klim, na even op adem te zijn gekomen volgen nog de verraderlijke kasseien. Bovenop de afvalberg heb je uitzicht over het afvalverwerkingsbedrijf en de rest van de omgeving.
