Known mountain in the area. Via this alternative, you turn right for a while and take a gravel lane instead than the asphalt road to the summit. Only if you live here will you make it to the top. But when I drove it - after a few days of rain - the road surface was really bad and muddy. It was a slippery slope...... read more

Gekende berg in de omgeving. Via dit alternatief sla je even rechtsaf en neem je een gravelstrook in de plaats dan de asfalt weg naar de top.
Enkel als je hier woont, kom je hier tot de top. Maar toen ik het reed - na een paar dagen regen - was het wegdek echt slecht en modderig. It was a slippery slope...
