After the first part (a nice run on a connecting road with nice curves but few views), you are glad - because of the relatively present traffic - to turn into the small road. This rises nicely for a while but then flattens out. At the house you turn left and there you see the steepest part looming - and it really is quite steep. Nice views all the way and the steep part is a nice challenge. Further on you follow the main road again and at the industrial estate you turn sharp left, a small road i... read more

After the first part (a nice run on a connecting road with nice curves but few views), you are glad - because of the relatively present traffic - to turn into the small road. This rises nicely for a while but then flattens out. At the house you turn left and there you see the steepest part looming - and it really is quite steep. Nice views all the way and the steep part is a nice challenge. Further on you follow the main road again and at the industrial estate you turn sharp left, a small road into the greenery and up to the highest point.

Na het eerste deel (een mooie loper over een verbindingsweg met mooie bochten maar weinig uitzicht) ben je - vanwege het relatief aanwezige verkeer - blij om het kleine weggetje in te slaan. Deze loopt even leuk op maar vlakt dan af. Bij het huis ga je links en daar zie je het steilste deel opdoemen - en dat is dan ook echt flink steil. Wel fraaie uitzichten de hele tijd en het steile deel is een mooie uitdaging. Verderop volg je weer de hoofdweg en bij het industrieterrein ga je scherp links, een klein weggetje het groen in en naar het hoogste punt.

Nice even climb with excellent road surface from Dasburg. Halfway up I was tempted to take the side road. A bit steep for a moment, but then it soon flattens out, but in the distance the nasty stretch is already looming. In an open field, the road climbs mercilessly just hundreds of metres. Small gear is a must. Fortunately, it only lasts a short while and you soon end up back on the original climb.

Mooie gelijk lopende klim met uitstekend wegdek vanuit Dasburg. Halverwege me laten verleiden om het zijwegje te nemen. Even wat steil, maar dan vlakt het al snel af, maar in de verte doemt het nijdige stuk al op. In een open veld gaat de weg genadeloos enkel honderden meters omhoog. Klein verzetje is een must. Gelukkig duurt het maar even en kom je snel terug op de originele klim weer uit.
