Not very difficult. Bike path is clear, which is nice. It is also fine surface. You do hear and see the cars. Would never make a special detour for it and there are nicer alternatives in the area too.... read more

Niet heel moeilijk. Fietspad ligt vrij, dat is mooi. Het is ook prima ondergrond. Je hoort en ziet de auto’s wel. Zou er nooit speciaal voor omrijden en ook in de omgeving zijn er leukere alternatieven.

A long climb on a separate cycle path next to a through road. The road is not too busy and the cycle path is often a few metres from the road so that the traffic does not bother you too much. The cycle path clearly undulates more than the road next to it so there are continuous steeper sections and sometimes small descents. This makes the climb a lot harder than what the profile suggests. Beautiful wooded surroundings.

Een lange klim over een vrijliggend fietspad naast een doorgaande weg. De weg is niet al te druk en het fietspad ligt vaak enkele meters van de weg dus veel last van het verkeer heb je niet. Het fietspad golft duidelijk meer dan de weg er naast dus er zijn continue steilere stukjes en soms kleine afdalingen. Dat maakt de klim een stuk zwaarder dan wat het profiel suggereert. Mooie bosrijke omgeving.
