This ascent follows the pleasant meanders of the river flowing somewhere far below you, and while winding you cycle out of the valley. No traffic encountered, which fits well with the somewhat desolate image of this region. According to the altitude profile, the road climbs only slightly, but it felt very different in 30+ degrees. Don't expect any vistas at the summit... read more

Deze beklimming volgt de leuke kronkels van de rivier die ergens ver onder je stroomt, en al slingerend fiets je het dal uit. Geen enkel verkeer tegengekomen, wat goed past bij het enigszins verlaten beeld van deze regio. Volgens het hoogteprofiel loopt de weg maar licht omhoog, maar het voelde toch heel anders in 30+ graden. De weg leek eindeloos voort te kabbelen en onderweg was er weinig bijzonders te zien. Al met al geen hele spannende beklimming
