Great climb, nice for a bit of intervals as the gradients go to the 9 to 10 ％ and then you have another stretch almost flat. Nice views at the end of the climb. Otherwise mostly in the shade. Quiet route little traffic.... read more

Prima klim, leuk om een beetje te intervallen want de stijgingspercentages gaan naar de 9 a 10 ％ en dan heb je weer een stukje bijna vlak. Mooie uitzichten aan het einde van de klim. Verder grotendeels in de schaduw. Rustige route weinig verkeer.
