Very nice climb. From the village, you climb up at a reasonable gradient (but not very irregular). You mostly have nice views over the village and the bay. The road surface is good and there is very little traffic. After the climb gets a bit easier you turn off the road to the viewpoint. Hopefully you still have some energy left by then because it gets a bit steep here. At the top it your view towards several sides.... read more

Very nice climb. From the village, you climb up at a reasonable gradient (but not very irregular). You mostly have nice views over the village and the bay. The road surface is good and there is very little traffic.

After the climb gets a bit easier you turn off the road to the viewpoint. Hopefully you still have some energy left by then because it gets a bit steep here. At the top it your view towards several sides.

Hele mooie klim. Vanaf het dorpje klim je met een redelijk stijgingspercentage (maar niet heel onregelmatig) omhoog. Je hebt veelal mooie uitzichten over het dorp en de baai. Het wegdek is goed en er is maar weinig verkeer.

Nadat de klim wat makkelijker is geworden draai je van de weg af naar het uitzichtpunt. Hopelijk heb je dan nog wat energie over want hier wordt het nog even steil. Bovenop het je uitzicht richting meerdere kanten.
