I have a feeling it's even steeper than shown here on the profile. The first 6km, I almost continuously saw 9, 10 or 11％ on my Garmin. This climb is not a pass so you will not get as high as other climbs in the area. Nevertheless, it is a must do.

Alternating heavy and not so heavy sections. Sometimes as much as 12％. Unfortunately, it is mostly in the forest, so you don't see the surroundings. Only on the descent do you see how beautiful it is, but then you shoot past it at 60km/h.
Afwisselend zware en minder zware stukken. Soms wel 12％. Het is helaas veelal in het bos, waardoor je de omgeving niet ziet. Pas bij de afdaling zie je hoe mooi het is, maar dan schiet je er met 60km/u langs.

The first part you cycle along the forest and the second part you really get into it. Through the trunks you can see the valley on your right. There is a steep final stretch and then you're at the top. Great views! The descent to Düns and further on is a pleasure.
Deze klim moet je niet onderschatten! Dat heb ik zelf wel gedaan...
Ik heb het idee dat het nog steiler is dan hier op het profiel te zien is. De eerste 6km heb ik op mijn Garmin bijna continu 9, 10 of 11％ zien staan.
Deze klim is geen pas dus je komt niet zo hoog als bij andere beklimmingen in de buurt. Toch is het wel een aanrader. Het asfalt is goed en tijdens mijn tocht was er weinig verkeer (een woensdagmiddag eind Augustus).
Het eerste deel fiets je langs het bos en het tweede deel er echt in. Door de stammen zie je dan rechts de vallei liggen. Er wacht nog een steil slot en dan ben je boven. Prima uitzicht! De afdaling naar Düns en verder is genieten.
