Beautiful views from the summit, but a tricky surface if you're climbing with a road bike. Prefer gravel or mountain bikes for this climb. To reach it, you also have to cross a parking area and a small gravel path.... read more

Belle vue au sommet mais revêtement délicat si vous grimpez avec un vélo de route. Privilégiez le gravel ou le VTT pour cette ascension. Pour la rejoindre il faut également franchir un parking et un petit passage dans les graviers.

Nice climb but quite tough and the road surface is not normally bad. If you want to get on it you have to cross a gravel parking lot and along a road blockades this is there Sunday no cars's can get on. But it is definitely recommended by the beautiful view and it is almost never crowded here .

Mooie klim maar vrij pittig en het wegdek is niet normaal slecht. Als je er op wilt komen moet je een gravel parking oversteken en langs een wegblokaden deze is er zondag er geen auto's op kunnen. Maar het is zeker een aanrader door het mooie uitzicht en het is hier bijna nooit druk .
