Nice climb in a beautiful piece of nature. Starts after a small descent so first part (steepest part) is pretty easy to do on the big plate if you have good legs. Afterwards turn right and stomp (because often headwind) on a slight uphill section to the top.... read more

Leuke klim in een mooi stukje natuur. Begint na een kleine afdaling dus eerste deel (steilste stuk) is vrij makkelijk te doen op de grote plaat als je over goede benen beschikt. Nadien rechts meedraaien en stoempen (want vaak tegenwind) op een licht hellend stuk tot boven.
