Nice route on a narrow road through a gorge. Hardly any traffic, road surface is bad. No problem when climbing, if you descend the same road you have to be careful. The climb is not difficult, especially recommended because of the landscape. You can also make a nice round of it.... read more

Mooie route over een smalle weg door een kloof. Nauwelijks verkeer, wegdek is slecht. Geen probleem bij het klimmen, als je dezelfde weg afdaalt is het opletten. De klim is niet moeilijk, vooral een aanrader vanwege het landschap. Je kunt er ook een leuk rondje van maken.
