A good alternative to the very busy main road. Climbed on my 28mm tires, was on the edge. Along the way you ride through dark tunnels, forests, vineyards and sometimes have beautiful views of the valley.

Een goed alternatief voor de erg drukke grote weg. Beklommen op mijn 28mm bandjes, was op het randje. Onderweg rijd je door donkere tunnels, bossen, wijngaarden en heb je soms prachtige vergezichten over het dal. Door het gravel moet je ondanks de lage steilheidsgraad de klim niet onderschatten
