DON'T DO IT, LIFE-THREATENING!!! What a busy road and what fast driving and overtaking! Very busy road, where you are constantly and only concerned with the traffic! Fortunately, 2 kilometres before the summit you can turn right onto a parallel road leading to the Jachtslot Platte. The road surface of that road is quite eroded (the cobblestone deck underneath is visible in many places) but anything better than that busy road. For me, never again!... read more

NIET DOEN, LEVENSGEVAARLIJK!! Wat een drukke weg en wat wordt er snel gereden en ingehaald! Hele drukke weg, waarbij je voortdurend en alleen maar met het verkeer bezig bent! Gelukkig kun je 2 kilometer voor de top rechts een parallelweg die naar het Jachtslot Platte leidt. Het wegdek van die weg is flink geërodeerd (het kasseiendek eronder is op vele plaatsen zichtbaar) maar alles beter dan die drukke weg. Voor mij nooit weer!

I avoid this ascent due to the very heavy traffic - the road has three lanes in places; the surface is very good, but cars show no consideration. At the top, it's worth taking a break at the Platte hunting lodge. I recommend the alternative ascent from Sonnenberg through the forest.

Ich meide diesen Anstieg aufgrund des sehr starken Verkehrs - die Straße ist teils dreispurig; der Belag ist sehr gut, aber Autos nehmen keine Rücksicht. Oben lohnt sich eine Pause am Jagdschloss Platte. Ich empfehle den alternativen Anstieg von Sonnenberg durch den Wald.
