I don't think I have ever driven over such an unpleasant road surface I think, and that includes cobblestones. While the surroundings are beautiful, the road surface is really bad. No potholes for hire, just some kind of concrete road with the top layer taken off. So you actually ride over something that looks like gravel, but is not yielding or loose at all. Bumping up is the message here. If you want comfort, this is not the place.... read more

Ik heb denk ik nog nooit over zo'n onaangenaam wegdek gereden denk ik, en dat is inclusief kasseien. Terwijl de omgeving mooi is, is het wegdek echt heel slecht. Geen putten huur, wel een soort van betonbaan waar de bovenste laag afgehaald is. Dus je rijdt eigenlijk over iets dat op gravel lijkt, maar helemaal niet meegeeft of los ligt. Omhoog botsen is de boodschap hier. Als je comfort wilt, dit is niet de plek.
