From the bridge over Le Geer turn right and then left into the road that rises steeply where the climb really begins. The first part you still drive between houses but soon you enter a beautiful hollow road so deep that you have the feeling that you are driving through a valley. The reasonably good road rises steeply and meanders slightly upwards. Eventually you get to see a lone tree on the plateau that marks the end of the asphalt. However, there are good gravel roads further up the plateau. A nice firm climb through a nice hollow road. Despite the fact that the asphalt dead ends, it is certainly worth the effort.
Note: in February 2022 they were building a large number of windmills on the plateau. It may be that the road is used more than what is normally the case.
Vanaf de brug over Le Geer even naar rechts en dan links de meteen flink stijgende weg in waar de klim echt gaat beginnen. Het eerste deel rijd je nog tussen de huizen maar al snel ga je een een mooie holle weg in die zo diep is dat je het gevoel hebt dat je door een dalletje rijdt. De redelijk goede weg stijgt stevig en slingert lichtjes naar boven. Uiteindelijk krijg je een eenzame boom in beeld op het plateau die het eind van het asfalt markeert. Wel lopen er goede gravelwegen verder het plateau op. Een lekker stevige klim door een fraaie holle weg. Ondanks dat het asfalt doodloopt toch zeker de moeite waard.
NB: in februari 2022 was men bezig met de aanleg van een flink aantal windmolens op het plateau. Het kan zijn dat de weg meer gebruikt wordt dan wat normaal het geval is.
