Very nice climb. You immediately start at decent percentages when you do the first hairpin turns. At the church you turn left and get to a huge steep section. This decreases slightly until you take a sharp turn into the forest outside the village. Afterwards a very long spur through a beautiful forest!... read more

Very nice climb. You immediately start at decent percentages when you do the first hairpin turns. At the church you turn left and get to a huge steep section. This decreases slightly until you take a sharp turn into the forest outside the village. Afterwards a very long spur through a beautiful forest!

Heel mooie beklimming. Je begint meteen aan degelijke percentages als je de eerste haardspeldbochten doet. Aan de kerk slaag je linksaf en kom je op een enorm stijl stuk. Dit neemt licht af tot je een scherpe bocht in het bos buiten het dorp genomen hebt. Nadien een heel lange uitloper door een mooi bos!

Indeed highly recommended. Before forest very nice views of valley and afterwards beautiful path through forest. In autumn, fantastic colours, but lots of leaves on the road

Inderdaad een aanrader. Voor bos heel mooie uitzichten op vallei en nadien mooi pad door bos. In de herfst fantastische kleuren, wel veel bladeren op de weg

Truly a beautiful climb. The stretch above 7％ in the forest (with peaks to 15％) seems to have no end. Top-class climbing this.

Echt een prachtige klim. Aan het stuk boven de 7％ in het bos (met uitschieters naar 15％) lijkt maar geen eind te komen. Op en top klimmen dit.

Strange that this one has not been rated by anyone yet. This is a beautiful climb through a forest on a narrow cycle path. There are some really steep parts in it. When you reach the top, you come to a very beautiful plateau where you follow a long bicycle path through the woods towards the south. Very worthwhile!

Vreemd dat deze nog niet beoordeeld is door iemand. Dit is een prachtige beklimming door een bos op een smal fietspad. Er zitten een paar echt pittig steile stukken in. Als je boven bent, kom je op een erg mooi plateau waar je een lang fietspad volgt door de bossen richting het zuiden. Zeer de moeite waard!
