I found it a worthwhile outing (done together with the climb to Miravel). The state of the asphalt is not super. The most bad sections were on the relatively flat parts. Little traffic (1 parked car). With a gravel bike you can climb even further, which seems very nice.... read more

Ik vond het een waardevol uitstapje (samen met het klimmetje naar Miravel gedaan). De staat van het asfalt is niet super. De meest slechte stukken waren op de relatief vlakke delen. Weinig verkeer (1 geparkeerde auto). Met een gravelbike kan je nog verder klimmen, wat erg mooi lijkt.
