Despite the fact that it is a dead end tarmac road (at the top, you can ride a small circle on tarmac so that turning around is no problem, you can also continue via gravel) definitely recommended. Both in terms of landscape and challenge a wonderful climb. Not too long but it feels like it because it is continuously hard to get up. In addition, there are continuous bends so that the further course is not visible. You cycle through a nice forest along a beautiful stream valley (with a nice strea... read more

Despite the fact that it is a dead end tarmac road (at the top, you can ride a small circle on tarmac so that turning around is no problem, you can also continue via gravel) definitely recommended. Both in terms of landscape and challenge a wonderful climb. Not too long but it feels like it because it is continuously hard to get up. In addition, there are continuous bends so that the further course is not visible. You cycle through a nice forest along a beautiful stream valley (with a nice stream) up. In the beginning, a barrier, but you can easily pass it. For such a forest road good tarmac although it can be dirty.

Ondanks dat het een doodlopend asfaltweggetje is (bovenaan kan je over asfalt een klein rondje rijden zodat keren probleemloos gaat, ook kan je via gravel verder rijden) zeker aan te raden. Zowel qua landschap als qua uitdaging een heerlijk klimmetje. Niet al te lang maar zo voelt hij wel want het is continue zwaar aanzetten om naar boven te komen. Daarnaast zijn er continue bochten dus het verdere verloop is niet te zien. Daarbij fiets je door een mooi bos langs een fraai beekdal (met leuk beekje) omhoog. In het begin een slagboom maar daar kan je makkelijk langs. Voor zo'n bosweggetje prima asfalt al kan het wel vuil zijn.
