Monteberg from the south face. Like so many climbs in the area, it starts off false flat to slowly but surely squeeze you fine with then a tricky stretch at the end. The wind here can also be a major factor in the run-up and cause you to be out of breath even before the steep section.... read more

De Monteberg van de zuidkant. Zoals zovele klimmen in de buurt begint het vals plat om je dan langzaam maar zeker fijn te knijpen met dan een lastig stuk op het eind. De wind kan hier ook een belangrijke factor zijn in de aanloop en ervoor zorgen dat je al buiten adem bent voor het steile stuk.

A nice climb in the hills. In the beginning it hardly seems like a climb. Only after the indication of the strava challenge does the gradient increase and you notice that it is a climb.

Een leuke kim het het heuvelland. In het begin lijkt het nauwelijks een klim. Pas na de aanduiding van de strava challenge begint het stijgingspercentage op de lopen en merk je dat het een klim is.
