Really nice climb away from the heat of the coast - appreciated the shade from the trees. Good fairly even gradient to get into a rhythm. Surface sketchy in places which made descent a little hairy... read more

Fairly steady ascent until the 15 km mark, then it becomes a little more challenging, practically in the shade for 90％.
At the top watch out for a lot of traffic, especially at the weekend, to admire the fallow deer [which don't show up until 10am].

Salita abbastanza costante fino all'indicazione del Km 15, poi diventa un pelo più impegnativa, praticamente in ombra per il 90％.
In cima attenzione al molto traffico, specie nel weekend, per ammirare i daini [che però non si fanno vedere prima delle 10]

Indeed, not a spectacular climb, but a fantastic leafy environment, also easy to bear while others are sunbathing on the beach. The road also runs through one of the few remaining primeval forests in Europe.

Inderdaad geen spectaculaire klim, maar wel een fantastische lommerrijke omgeving, ook goed uit te houden terwijl anderen aan het strand liggen te bakken. De weg loopt bovendien door 1 van de weinige overgebleven oerbossen van Europa, kom daar nog eens om!

No spectacle, comparable with about 16 times the Amerongse Berg, just as steep and just as boring, but precisely because of that also a very attractive climb. I have climbed it 4 times during a holiday. You come irrevocably in a wonderful climbing rhythm, can also great training because it is never really steep.
For those who like dense deciduous forests: recommended!

geen spektakel, vergelijkbaar met ongeveer 16 maal de Amerongse Berg, even stijl en even saai, maar juist daardoor ook weer een heel aantrekkelijke klim. Ik heb deze tijdens een vakantie zo'n 4 maal beklommen. Je komt onherroepelijk in een heerlijk klimritme, kunt er ook geweldig trainen want het wordt nooit echt stijl.
Voor wie van dichte loofbossen houdt: aanrader!
