Don't stare blindly at the average percentage; the run-up to this climb is long and flat, but once you arrive in the forest, the climb becomes punchily steep. The road is very quiet once you cycle out of the village. Note: at the time of writing, there is a lot of asphalt/gravel on the road, after many repairs: so be careful.

Staar je niet blind op het gemiddelde percentage; de aanloop van deze klim is lang en vlak, maar eenmaal in het bos aangekomen wordt de klim pittig steil. De weg is erg rustig, wanneer je eenmaal uit het dorp bent gefietst. Let wel op: op het moment van schrijven ligt er heel veel asfalt/gravel op de weg, na menig reparatie: oppassen dus.
