Fun and solid climb from one of the nicer Fajas. You have very nice views at times, the road surface is perfect and there is very little traffic.

Leuke en stevige klim vanuit een van de mooiere Fajas. Je hebt bij vlagen erg mooie uitzichten, het wegdek is perfect en er is maar heel weinig verkeer.
