Nice climb, as an extra for when you still have energy left after the bigger guys around.

A nice little climb, not too hard but enough to suffer a bit anyway. I found the climb more regular than what is presented on the graph, around 8, 9 ％ or so. When you come back down, you have a great view of the castle in some places. Mind you, there are some sections of tarmac missing in some places. Almost no traffic. Not a perfect surface but it does the job. Once you get to the top, there is plenty of room to fill your water bottles.
