Exceptional climb with a relatively long paved section. The steepest and most difficult part is on the pavement, the part on the following tarmac is relaxed.

Außergewöhnlicher Anstieg mit einem verhältnismäßig langem Pflasteranteil. Der stellte und auch schwierigste Teil ist auf dem Pflaster der Teil auf dem nachfolgenden Aspahlt ist entspannt.

An unexpected climb in this area where asphalt is the norm, because here you are talking about a real cobbled strip that also gives the real feeling of cobbling and, in addition, goes up quite steeply. From the centre, you see the road going uphill and the slope continues until after the bend further on. Before the bend, you have to pass between the poles, so there is no car traffic here (which is good because the road is very narrow). Bouncing happily, you continue to climb until the roundabout where the road changes to asphalt and from where it is almost to the end. At least that is how it feels after you have left the cobbles behind. A short climb, but with spirit and because of the cobbles unique in this area.

Een onverwachte klim in deze omgeving waar asfalt de norm is, want hier praat je over een rasechte kasseienstrook die ook het echte gevoel van kasseien geeft en daarnaast ook nog flink steil de hoogte in gaat. Vanuit het centrum zie je de weg omhoog lopen en de helling loopt door tot na de bocht verderop. Voor de bocht moet je tussen paaltjes door dus hier geen last van autoverkeer (mooi want de weg is hier erg smal). Al stuiterend blijf je doorklimmen tot de rotonde waar de weg overgaat in asfalt en waarvan het al meteen eigenlijk uitfietsen is. Zo voelt het iig nadat je de kasseien achter de rug hebt. Een korte klim, wel met pit en vanwege de kasseien uniek in deze omgeving.
