Good climb but all types of traffic go on this road which is relatively narrow ...so not ideal.

Goed lopende klim maar alle soorten verkeer gaan over deze weg die relatief smal is …dus niet ideaal.

Good climb. The last 1.5km on the cobblestones make the climb tough at the back. But the view is worth it.

Guter Anstieg. Die letzten 1,5km auf dem Kopfsteinpflaster machen den Anstieg hintenraus hart. Der Ausblick lohnt sich aber dafür.

Beautiful area, the climb is fun for 6 km, fairly even uphill, nowhere very nasty, until the last 1.5 km: the steepest part of the climb over nasty cobbles. Wasting away. At the top nice views and eine Herberge as a hard-earned reward.

Anyway, nice rounds to make in this area, lots of up and down with nice views.

Mooi gebied, het klimmetje is 6 km lang leuk, redelijk gelijkmatig omhoog, nergens heel vervelend, tot de laatste 1,5 km: het steilste gedeelte van de klim over nare kasseien. Afzien. Bovenaan mooi uitzicht en eine Herberge als zuurverdiende beloning.

Sowieso mooie rondjes te maken in dit gebied, veel op en af met mooie vergezichten.
