A somewhat more steady climb than the parallel Kneppelhout Road. The first bit is on cobblestones after which it quickly changes to asphalt. Very nice and quiet part of Oosterbeek.

Nice little road through greenery (mostly forest but sometimes views of rolling meadows) uphill. The first bit is cobbles, the rest good tarmac. Just a pleasant climb.

Rightly bears the name Heavenly Mountain. You drive through a green, shady and quiet forest, rich in ferns, over a combination of cobbles and asphalt. I immediately felt like taking a stroll around the estate by foot. An oasis of tranquillity, as is often the case with climbs in this region around Arnhem.
