I descended this climb alone. At the top, at the time of writing, they are cutting down trees. Watch out! The road is full of bark, twigs and sawdust. Also some gravel. For the rest, good asphalt. The climb from the other side I can heartily recommend.... read more

I descended this climb alone. At the top, at the time of writing, they are cutting down trees. Watch out! The road is full of bark, twigs and sawdust. Also some gravel. For the rest, good asphalt.

The climb from the other side I can heartily recommend.

Ik heb deze klim alleen afgedaald. Bovenaan zijn ze op het moment van schrijven bezig met het kappen van bomen. Pas op! De weg ligt vol met schors, takjes en zaagsel. Daarbij ook wat grind. Voor de rest prima asfalt.

De klim vanaf de andere kant kan ik van harte aanraden.
