A climb with a long run-up before it starts to rise perceptibly, but that's no punishment as it is a nice little road. Only when the road turns into a cycle path (where the road stops on the left and then turns at right angles) does it really start to rise and you ride into a beautiful forest. After a small descent, a second ascent with a clear peak. Little effort but beautiful scenery.... read more

A climb with a long run-up before it starts to rise perceptibly, but that's no punishment as it is a nice little road.

Een klim met een langs aanloop voordat het voelbaar begint te stijgen, maar da's geen straf want het is een mooi weggetje. Pas als de weg overgaat in een fietspad (waar de weg ophoudt links en dan haaks naar rechts) gaat het echt stijgen en rijd je een mooi bos in. Na een kleine afdaling een tweede stijging met een duidelijke top. Weinig inspanning maar een fraaie omgeving.
