Nice simple but long climb. Nowhere really much÷. It is mostly long and the views are beautiful. As is the start at the reservoir. The road has recently been completely newly asphalted (June 25) so road surface is perfect.... read more

Mooie eenvoudige maar lange klim. Nergens echt veel ÷. Hij is vooral lang en het uitzicht is prachtig. Evenals de start bij het stuwmeer. De weg is recent volledig nieuw geasfalteerd (juni 25) dus wegdek is perfect.
