Tough climb that if you bike in the regions you will definitely have to do to avoid the terrible A7 highway. So yes... Worth a detour. Extremely beautiful this climb is not. Pretty tough though with regularly very steep percentages. Think 20％!... read more

Stevige klim die je als je fietst in de regio zeker s zal moeten doen om de verschrikkelijke A7 snelweg te vermijden. Dus ja... Een omweg waard. Extreem mooi is deze klim niet. Wel behoorlijk pittig met regelmatig erg steile percentages. Denk 20％!
