Boshuisweg from Gortel

Beautiful stretch where (on Sunday morning) I got a kind of alone-in-the-world feeling. You start the climb by passing a fence via a piece of gravel lying next to the road. Halfway up, you actually pass a residential house and some other buildings. It is an easy climb with a reasonable road surface. Only at the end do the percentages rise a bit, but by then it's over. I turned around after the summit and descended it again.

In the beginning, the road barely climbs at all but further on, the percentage war more varied so you are really climbing. In the process, the asphalt road winds through a beautiful forest. A little after the climb, the road turns into a good gravel cycle path that is also fine to ride on a road bike.

What a lovely quiet little road. Through the forest. You end up in an old beech forest

Quiet climb in the middle of the forest. The paved road stops at the end, so at most you'll encounter gravel bikes or mtb riders. Bigger is the chance of some wildlife, so pay a bit of attention.

In terms of climbing, it's not much of a climb at all, but it's a nice bit. Tarmac moderate, traffic absent. Nice climb to do the pole road afterwards (on a gravel bike)!
