A climb in sections. As soon as you cross the bridge at Siabost, it starts climbing. Not very steep, but the road goes up for just under a kilometre. Then you come to an intermediate section, which goes up and down little piano-piano; doesn't amount to much.... Until right off the road you pass the loch. You can see the road going up the height after a little descent, and on the left you can also see something that looks like the old road, where grass is now growing and sheep are walking, ... read more

A climb in sections. As soon as you cross the bridge at Siabost, it starts climbing. Not very steep, but the road goes up for just under a kilometre. Then you come to an intermediate section, which goes up and down little piano-piano; doesn't amount to much....
Until right off the road you pass the loch. You can see the road going up the height after a little descent, and on the left you can also see something that looks like the old road, where grass is now growing and sheep are walking, and you can only be glad that it goes up to 12％ for a while here, because what that old road can be...
Once you've conquered this section, it's mostly pushing on until you reach the top, while cycling through a landscape that gets more and more beautiful.
Highly recommended!

Een klim in gedeeltes. Zodra je bij Siabost de brug overgaat begint het te klimmen. Niet heel steil, maar de weg loopt voor iets minder dan een kilometer op. Vervolgens kom je op een tussendeel, dat beetje piano-piano op en neer gaat; stelt niet veel voor...
Tot je recht van de weg het loch passeert. Je ziet de weg de hoogte ingaan na een kleine afdaling en links zie je ook iets wat lijkt op de oude weg, waar nu gras groeit en schapen lopen en je kunt alleen maar blij zijn dat het hier even oploopt tot 12％, want wat die oude weg kan zijn...
Als je dit gedeelte hebt bedwongen, is het vooral doorduwen tot je boven bent, terwijl je door een landschap fietst dat alsmaar mooier wordt.
Aanrader!
