The climb is mostly on a gravel path, and that's not so bad on the ascent, but because it's a dead-end climb, you have to descend along the same path, and in my opinion that was quite linky because it's quite coarse gravel in some parts and my wheels (30mm) occasionally skidded.

Een mooie klim in een prachtige bosrijke omgeving, maad ik zou 'm niet aanraden voor wielrenners. De klim gaat grotendeels over een gravelpad, en dat is bij de klim nog niet zo erg maar omdat het een doodlopende klim is, moet je langs hetzelfde pad afdalen en dat was mijns inziens best link omdat het op sommige stukken best grof grind is en m'n wielen (30mm) af en toe slipten. Ik zou 'm daarom eigenlijk alleen aanraden voor gravelbikes! Op de top staat een woning en heb je nauwelijks uitzicht, dus daarom zijn andere klimmetjes in de buurt (Petersberg, Drachenfels) betere opties.
