Braved that whole VAM mountain from all sides today. Positively surprised by the challenging nature of the climbs, but this one certainly takes the crown! Very similar to the steeper/challenging work in southern Limburg or near Nijmegen!... read more

This additional climb was added in late 2023 and is steeper and higher than the 3 other climbs on VAM Mountain.
Sign of 16％ indicates what's to come and nothing lied about this.
Well worth taking in.

Deze extra klim is eind 2023 toegevoegd en is steiler en hoger dan de 3 andere beklimmingen op de VAM-berg.
Bord van 16％ geeft aan wat er komt en hier is niets aan gelogen.
Zeer de moeite waard om mee te pakken.

Vandaag die hele VAM-berg van alle kanten getrotseerd. Positief verrast door de uitdagendheid van de klimmetjes, maar deze spant zeker de kroon! Lijkt erg op het steilere/uitdagendere werk in Zuid-Limburg of bij Nijmegen!

Wonderful addition to the VAM complex. Climb that can definitely compete with other beautiful climbs in the Netherlands due to the gradients and hairpin bends. I am used to many beautiful climbs in South Limburg, but when I am in the area I always enjoy passing by the VAM complex. Almost a shame there are some one-way roads, because the descent of the VAM mountain--also with hairpin turns--also definitely invites! Highly recommended!

Prachtige aanwinst op het VAM-complex. Klim die zich door de stijgingspercentages en haarspeldbochten zeker met andere mooie beklimmingen in Nederland kan meten. Ik ben in Zuid-Limburg veel mooie klimmen gewend, maar als ik in de buurt ben ga ik altijd graag langs het VAM-complex. Haast jammer dat er sprake is van een aantal eenrichtingswegen, want de afdaling van de VAM-berg--ook met haarspeldbocht--nodigt ook zeker uit! Een aanrader!

Really a very nice climb to do once if you are in the area. The whole thing is very nicely set up if you ask me

Echt een hele leuke klim om eens te doen als je in de buurt bent. Het geheel is erg mooi opgezet als je het mij vraagt

Great steep climb in the heart of Drenthe. Probably the toughest of them all, with percentages shooting up quite a bit on some sections.

Geweldige steile beklimming in hartje Drenthe. Vermoedelijk de zwaarste van allemaal, met percentages die op sommige stukken behoorlijk de hoogte in schieten.

If you make your rounds here on VAM mountain, the Dak van Drenthe should not be missed. In my opinion, it is the most difficult climb here and that is mainly because of its length. You have several steep sections and a few curves. At the top, you have a nice view of the Drenthe landscape on one side and on the other, well, rubbish.

Als je rondjes maakt hier op de VAM berg dan mag het Dak van Drenthe niet ontbreken. In mijn ogen toch de lastigste beklimming hier en dat komt vooral door de lengte. Je hebt meerdere steile stroken en een paar bochten. Bovenop heb je aan je ene zijde een mooi uitzicht over het Drentse landschap en aan de andere zijde, tja vuilnis.

Heaviest climb in Drenthe and just new, in addition to the several climbs of the Col du Vam. As there are not many more climbs in the area, it is quite worth a diversion, along with the Col du Vam a nice cycling park. Above, views of the rubbish dump and more beautiful surroundings. With hairpins, smooth tarmac, and a solid percentage.

Zwaarste klim van Drenthe en net nieuw, naast de verschillende beklimmingen van de Col du Vam. Omdat er in de buurt niet veel meer beklimmingen zijn is het best een omweg waard, samen met de Col du Vam een mooi wielerpark. Boven uitzicht op de vuilnisbelt en op de mooiere omgeving. Met haarspelden, glad asfalt, en een stevig percentage.

Style especially in the beginning, but too short to be really very difficult! Nice if you're in the area and then to do all the climbs right away.

Stijl vooral in het begin, maar te kort om echt heel moeilijk te worden! Leuk als je in de buurt bent en om dan gelijk alle klimmetjes te doen.
