Truly a super climb. From the far too busy B410, you first descend nicely on a narrow but well-maintained road. This turns into a climb. You can still see the road down during that climb. It is not super difficult but very beautiful. The tarmac is formidable and there is hardly any traffic. Really a must if you are around here! At the top, you have a wide view of the region.... read more

Echt een super beklimming. Vanaf de veel te drukke B410 daal je eerst mooi af over een smalle maar goed onderhouden weg. Die gaat over in een klim. Je ziet tijdens die klim de weg naar beneden nog liggen. Het is niet super moeilijk maar heel erg mooi. Het asfalt is formidabel en er is nauwelijks verkeer.

Echt een must als je hier in de buurt bent! Bovenop heb je een wijds uitzicht over de regio.
