A connecting road out of the village, so what can you expect? Well the beginning already makes a lot clear as the road immediately pops up and after the right turn even more so. At the start there is a 13％ sign over 1.8 km. That is exaggerated but after leaving the village there is a descending sign 15％, and it is certainly not exaggerated. After the steep stretch, a more relaxed stretch with nice views. After that, you soon see the road rising considerably again and you start to feel it. Af... read more

A connecting road out of the village, so what can you expect? Well the beginning already makes a lot clear as the road immediately pops up and after the right turn even more so. At the start there is a 13％ sign over 1.8 km. That is exaggerated but after leaving the village there is a descending sign 15％, and it is certainly not exaggerated. After the steep stretch, a more relaxed stretch with nice views. After that, you soon see the road rising considerably again and you start to feel it. After this steep stretch, it's soon to the T-junction marking the summit. All in all, a really nice and challenging climb in beautiful surroundings.

Een verbindingsweg het dorp uit, dus wat kan je verwachten? Nou het begin maakt al veel duidelijk want de weg knalt meteen omhoog en na de bocht naar rechts nog meer. Aan het begin staat een bord 13％ over 1,8 km. Dat is overdreven maar na het verlaten van het dorp staat een dalend bord 15％, en die is zeker niet overdreven. Na het steile stuk een relaxter traject met mooi uitzicht. Daarna zie je al snel de weg weer flink stijgen en dat ga je ook voelen. Na dit steile stuk is het al snel naar de T-splitsing die de top markeert. Al met al een echt lekkere en uitdagende klim in een mooie omgeving.
