A climb over an ultimately dead-end tarmac road but don't let that stop you as it is otherwise a wonderfully challenging climb. In the beginning you see a few houses far above you against the slope and you have to get there. The tarmac is pretty good until the end and the percentages keep going up throughout the climb until you're struggling to get around - and then you also have to take a tight hairpin turn with another right-angle turn immediately after.

A climb over an ultimately dead-end tarmac road but don't let that stop you as it is otherwise a wonderfully challenging climb. In the beginning you see a few houses far above you against the slope and you have to get there. The tarmac is pretty good until the end and the percentages keep going up throughout the climb until you're struggling to get around - and then you also have to take a tight hairpin turn with another right-angle turn immediately after. The road continues to rise sharply until the barrier at the end where the tarmac ends. There are some gravel roads that you can continue to follow. In the descent via the same road, by the way, there are nice views so that's no punishment either.

Een klim over een uiteindelijk doodlopende asfaltweg maar laat je dat niet tegenhouden want het is verder een heerlijk uitdagende klim. In het begin zie je ver boven je een paar huizen tegen de helling en daar moet je daar toe. Het asfalt is tot het eind behoorlijk goed en de percentrages gaan gedurende de klim steeds verder omhoog totdat je de boel nog maar moeilijk rond krijgt - en dan moet je ook nog een krappe haarspeldbocht met meteen daarna nog een haakse bocht nemen. De weg blijft fel stijgen tot de slagboom aan het eind waar het asfalt ophoudt. Er zijn wel enkele gravelwegen die je verder kan volgen. In de afdaling via dezelfde weg trouwens wel leuk uitzicht dus dat is ook geen straf.
