Meanwhile, the road is in better condition again, thankfully. Hope they don't plan to do this every year, a fortnight ago a road bike was impossible to ride on it (rode a flat too).... read more

Not too good a road, but a good way to get back to the other side of the ridge

Niet een al te beste weg, maar een goede manier om weer aan de andere kant van de heuvelrug te komen

Note! The road has recently been resurfaced with a thick layer of gravel... 😢. With a gravel bike, this is still a fun little climb, but no longer with a road bike....

Let op! De weg is recent opnieuw geasfalteerd met een dikke laag grind... 😢. Met een gravelbike is dit nog een leuk klimmetje, maar niet meer met de racefiets...

Ondertussen is de weg wel weer in een betere staat gelukkig. Hoop dat ze dit niet ieder jaar van plan zijn, twee weken geleden was er met een wegfiets niet op te rijden (reed ook lek).

Lovely quiet because basically car-free road up through a beautiful forest. After the first bend, you can see part of the slope well in front of you. On the last part of the climb there are younger trees on either side which gives a somewhat more spatial effect. A little after the top, you have a nice gatehouse on the left.

Heerlijk rustige want in principe autovrije weg door een fraai bos naar boven. Na de eerste bocht zie je een deel van de helling goed voor je liggen. Op het laatste deel van de klim zijn aan weerszijden jongere boompjes wat een wat meer ruimtelijk effect geeft. Iets na de top heb je links een fraai poortgebouw.

Not a difficult climb, but the very quiet road through the forest is so soothing that I rarely cycle it full speed up. Just enjoy being a cycling tourist here.

Geen moeilijke klim, maar de zeer rustige weg door het bos is zo rustgevend dat ik hem zelden volle bak omhoog fiets. Gewoon lekker de fietstoerist uithangen hier.

This is one of those climbs that you don't see going up, but only feel in your calves. So false flat and they are dirty.
I did it after 75 km and was very glad that I was up, because it had squeezed the last juice out of my legs.
The surroundings are really to be recommended, right through a forest with few crowds.

Dit is zo'n klimmetje die niet omhoog ziet gaan, maar alleen maar voelt in de kuiten. Vals plat dus en die zijn smerig.
Ik deed hem na 75 km en was heel blij dat ik boven was, want het laatste sap had ie toch ff uit de benen geperst.
De omgeving is echt om aan te raden, dwars door een bos met maar weinig drukte.

This little climb is especially worthwhile for the surroundings. Up through the forest, no traffic. The south side is nicer to cycle on. Asphalt is on the moderate side.

Dit klimmetje is vooral de moeite waard voor de omgeving. Door het bos omhoog, geen verkeer. De zuidkant is wel leuker om op te fietsen. Asfalt is matig.

A gentle climb through the forest. The climb itself is not that exciting. My Garmin never indicated more than 5%, but you can make it as hard as you want. If you keep on going, you will also feel this climb. Watch out for crossing pedestrians, also when you descend on the other side.

Een rustige klim door het bos. De klim zelf is niet zo spannend. Mijn Garmin gaf nooit meer dan 5% aan, maar je maakt het natuurlijk zo zwaar als je zelf wil. Als je doortrekt ga je ook deze klim wel voelen. Beetje oppassen voor overstekende wandelaars, ook als je aan de andere kant afdaalt.
