I wouldn't go out of my way for it, but having taken the path across the woods, this was a nice, fast ascent in nature. No real spikes and it comes after a small false flat, so you're probably already in the right gear to attack the (easy) start of this one. Quiet road with a couple of nice benches at the "top", good for a small break... read more

Really nice climb over a cycle path that for the most part runs through a deciduous forest.In the forest itself, it is still best to watch out for cyclists descending the cycle path.

Echt wel een leuk klimmetje over een fietspad dat voor het grootste deel door een loofboombos loopt.In het bos zelf is het toch best uit te kijken voor fietsers die het fietspad afdalen.

Just a nice scenic climb that fluctuates a bit more (and is therefore a bit harder) than the profile indicates. You cycle over an asphalt cycle path with good road surface. Beautiful green surroundings.

Gewoon een landschappelijk leuk klimmetje die wat meer fluctueert (en dus wat zwaarder is) dan het profiel aangeeft. Je fietst over een asfaltfietspad met prima wegdek. Mooie groene omgeving.
