A beautiful, quiet climb that was part of the Majestics UCI Gran Fondo route. What those who rode it before me wrote is true: a narrow road with very varied surfaces. Sometimes it’s downright rough, but you can still make it up. There are a few challenging sections, but overall I found it manageable. At the top, you have a stunning view of a blue mountain lake. The good news is that the descent on the other side has excellent pavement.... read more

Prachtige, stille klim die in de route zat van the Majestics UCI Gran Fondo. Wat mijn voorgangers schreven is waar: klein weggetje met hele wisselende ondergronden. Soms ronduit naar, maar omhoog gaat dat wel. Er zitten een paar pittige stukjes in, maar overall vond ik hem goed te doen. Boven heb je een prachtig uitzicht op een blauw bergmeer. Het goede nieuws is dat de afdaling aan de andere kant prima asfalt heeft.

I really liked this climb, despite some of the narrow roads and rough surface because its so quiet!! You get off the main road and the traffic is gone. It winds through the forest and is uneven so you think you have finished the climbing then there is more - before you join the main road again after the reservoir. I good climb to do is you are in the area.

This is a long long climb. Very uneven. Sometimes fine road surface. Sometimes a stretch very moderate, but doable. The view almost at the top of the dam is beautiful.
Very quiet lane with little to no traffic.

Dit is een lange lange klim. Zeer onregelmatig. Soms prima wegdek. Soms een stukje zeer matig, maar goed te doen. Het zicht bijna boven aan de stuwdam is prachtig.
Zeer rustig baantje waar weinig tot geen verkeer op zit.
