Mean climb over poor tarmac. But zigzags nicely through the forest and is actually a kilometre longer than indicated - although after Melickshaff it flattens out to about five per cent.

Gemeen klimmetje over matig asfalt. Maar zigzagt mooi door het bos en is eigenlijk nog een kilometer langer dan aangegeven - al vlakt ie na Melickshaff af naar een procentje of vijf.
