Very nice scenery and climb. From the dam, it starts with decent percentages, then the climb continues nicely. Very quiet and good road surface. Especially second part of the climb and subsequent descent.... read more

Great climb starting right after the dam. Didn't see any traffic and the asphalt is in perfect condition. Beautiful views on 2nd part of the climb.

Geweldige beklimming die direct na de dam begint. Geen verkeer gezien en het asfalt is in perfecte staat. Mooie vergezichten op 2e deel van de beklimming.

Erg mooie omgeving en klim. Vanaf de dam begint het met behoorlijke percentages, daarna loopt de klim lekker door. Heel rustig en goed wegdek. Vooral tweede deel van de klim en de daarop volgende afdaling.
