Long climb with sections downhill at the end too. Up to the village the percentage is higher, then it flattens out. To the west nice views.

Lange klim met aan het einde ook stukken naar beneden. Tot aan het dorp is het percentage hoger, daarna vlakt hij af. Naar het westen toe mooie uitzichten.

The slope is more interesting because even if the percentages are very low, the climb is not homogeneous and therefore less boring!

versant plus intéressant car même si les pourcentages sont très faibles la montée n'est pas homogène et donc moins ennuyante !
