I wouldn't describe this as a climb. Rather as a very good alternative to the main road with an excellent road surface and wide cycle lanes.... read more

Ich würde das nicht als einen Anstieg bezeichnen. Eher als sehr gute Alternative zur Hauptstraße mit hervorragendem Straßenbelag und breiten Fahrradspuren.

When making a list of climbs in the area, this would not make the list. The road technically goes uphill, but is so gradual and for such a short period that you wouldn’t think that you’ve ridden anything. That said, the surface has been recently re-paved (July 2025), and painted with cycle lanes. This road is therefore a much better alternative to the N94, but don’t ride it expecting to even notice the climb.
