The climb is very relaxed but does follow a nice route with quite a few curves. Unfortunately, the concrete is broken in many places which makes it quite bumpy. The bit after the side road doesn't offer much extra's so you wouldn't have to ride that last bit back-and-forth.... read more

De klim is heel relaxed maar volgt wel een mooi traject met flink wat bochten. Helaas is het beton op veel plaatsen gebroken wat het behoorlijk hobbelig maakt. Het stukje na de zijweg biedt niet veel extra's dus je zou dat laatste stukje niet heen-en-weer hoeven te rijden.

Very bad road surface. And actually not pretty either.
I would pass this climb unless you want to tick it off.

Zeer slecht wegdek. En eigenlijk ook niet mooi.
Ik zou deze klim passeren, tenzij je hem wil afvinken.

As WouterDK tells us below, the state of the road surface is really bad in some places (see photo). However, it must be said that it is very beautiful and quiet here. So if you are going out on your own and you are not in a hurry, feel free to drive past here. Just be a bit careful where you drive :) The climb stops at a gate (unless you dive into a gravel path towards the forest) so I had to turn back a few dozen metres to continue my trek via the Oudeheerweg-Ruiter.

Zoals WouterDK hieronder al weet te vertellen is de staat van het wegdek op sommige plaatsen echt slecht (zie foto). Het moet wel gezegd dat het hier heel mooi en rustig is. Dus als je er alleen op uit trekt en je hebt geen haast, dan kan je gerust eens langs hier rijden. Gewoon een beetje opletten waar je rijdt :) De klim stopt aan een poort (tenzij je een gravel pad richting bos induikt) dus ik moest enkele tientallen meters terugkeren om via de Oudeheerweg-Ruiter mijn tocht verder te zetten.

This is a strange climb because it is almost all the time on an incline. The condition of the road in the first part is terrible: pits, pieces of cobblestones, holes between the concrete slabs, etc. Very dangerous if you do not pay attention. The scenery becomes more beautiful the further up the slope you go.

Dit is een vreemde klim omdat het bijna heel de tijd vals plat is. De staat van het wegdek in het eerste deel is barslecht: putten, stukken kasseien, gaten tussen de betonplaten, ... Zeer gevaarlijk als je niet oplet. De omgeving wordt wel mooier hoe verder je de helling op bent.
