Climb in itself is not that difficult. It does have those 'fake cobblestones' like those found on the kampel. Vibrates terribly. When you get to the top, though, you can continue your way via a very nice track.

Beginning of the climb, you have to be careful when riding up the cobbles, then up to the bend of those cobbles where your bike doesn't really bump around on them but shakes all over. After the bend, the cobbles stop and you enter more open countryside. Not really very special, but unique in the area.

"Until the blood comes in" according to the strava segment: if you're going for a top 10 or there's a lot of headwind this can definitely be true. Ideal effort to give everything for a few minutes!

A real classic in the region! The cobbles are not too bad but it is quite a bit of docking at the start!

Nice start, with well-laid cobbles that you can push on nicely. Rest of the slope doesn't really represent anything.
