Barely any traffic. Occasionally through a nice village. Basically continuously the same gradient, which is nice. I certainly enjoyed the view. Just felt bad that I had no light in the tunnel at the top.

Amper verkeer. Af en toe door een leuk dorpje heen. Eigenlijk continu hetzelfde stijgingspercentage en dat is wel lekker. Ik heb ook zeker van het uitzicht kunnen genieten. Baalde alleen dat ik geen licht had in de tunnel op de top.

Long, not too difficult climb, mostly stays around 5％ great for keeping up the rhythm. Views are moderate and the top consists of an old tunnel. The descent on the other side is lovely, although you have to pedal a bit. The views on the other side are also more attractive and easy to enjoy on the way down. The road surface has some patch work but is very good. Traffic I have encountered can be counted on 1 hand.

Lange niet te moeilijke klim blijft grotendeels rond de 5％ heerlijk om ritme aan te houden. Uitzichten zijn matig en top bestaat uit een oude tunnel. Afdaling aan de andere kant loopt heerlijk wel beetje meetrappen. Ook de Uitzichten zijn aan de andere kant aantrekkelijker en rustig rollend in de afdaling goed van te genieten. Het wegdek kent wat lap werk maar is dikke prima. Verkeer dat ik ben tegengekomen is op 1 hand te tellen
