A typical road in this region; narrow, remote (so quiet), through an alternation of forest and open land, and quite a climb. The only difference: a very steady climb and therefore a nice cycling pace. A climb which is easy to do on power. Biggest disadvantage of this climb is that you end up on a busy open through road, where people drive very fast. But that is also typical for this region and cannot always be avoided.... read more

I really liked this beautiful, really quiet slope in the middle of nature, the path not too wide, fair surface, at the top you arrive on a main road with more traffic, the view of the castle and the Freÿr Rocks is close by, a delight for the eyes.

J'ai bien aimé cette belle côte vraiment tranquille en pleine nature, le chemin pas trop large, revêtement passable, au sommet on arrive sur un axe routier avec plus de circulation, le point de vue sur le château et les Rochers de Freÿr est tout près un regal pour les yeux

From Villatoile campsite directly uphill on a gentle climb that does not require too much. The end point is, as Robert mentioned, a busy road. A pity, but the climb is worth it.

Vanaf camping Villatoile direct omhoog op een rustige klim die niet teveel vergt. Het eindpunt is, zoals Robert al meldde, een drukke weg. Jammer maar de klim is de moeite waard.

Een typisch weggetje in deze regio; smal, afgelegen (dus rustig), door een afwisseling van bos en open land en flink oplopend. Enige verschil: hele gelijkmatige klim en daarom heerlijk fietsen in een gelijkmatig tempo. Een klim, die op de macht goed te doen is. Grootste nadeel van deze klim is dat je uitkomt op een drukke open doorgaande weg, waar erg hard gereden wordt. Maar ook dat is typerend voor deze regio en is niet altijd te vermijden.

Very nice climb over a nice and quiet track. The climb feels the same over its entire length and can be ridden at the same pace from bottom to top with the right gear.

Zeer leuke klim over een mooie en rustige baan. De klim voelt over de hele lengte gelijk aan en kan met het juiste verzet van beneden tot boven op het zelfde tempo gereden worden.
