We were at this one waiting for the road to finally start going up "up" and where the "cobblestones" stayed - luckily the last part did get a bit steeper (up to 10％ according to GPS) and thankfully no cobblestones!

The first stretch is not very inspiring and runs slightly uphill. At the end, it does get a bit steep and you go through a forest. There is often some traffic. I prefer doing them as descents;

First part is smooth on a good tarmac road. Second part is slightly steeper over a moderate concrete road.

Not really a special climb. In the beginning it rises slightly and you ride between houses. Once in the forest, it gets steeper and more fun. The steepest stretch does not last very long so is not an overly tough climb. You seem to be able to see the top but it continues for a while. Quite a bit of traffic, road surface is ok. You can combine this climb by doing Pollareberg first, then this climb and then Congoberg.
