Beautiful climb, but mostly because of the architecture and the forest. All this together is a pretty alienating experience. The climb in itself is not very difficult.

A sucky clinker road which is a bit more than false flat,as there are little bits of 5％ in between. Combined with a bouncing road surface makes it a little more 'tough'. The scenery before you start the climb is beautiful and grand, with an oafish building as an eye-catcher.

You start, of course, at "De Kathedraal", old transmitter building of Radio Kootwijk. Over cobblestones, it rises slightly to a junction where, on nice days, there is sometimes a very good ice cream van. Locals call this Hoog Buurloo.

Basically just a stretch of false flat, like more around here. But when it comes to the scenery, this one is unique with this interesting and beautiful structure!

You don't have to do this one for the gradient as it goes up very relaxed on a good cobblestone road. Still, this climb is unique because of the peculiar architecture at the beginning and, in addition, the beautiful heathland surroundings. The second part is a bit more standard but the (then forested) environment remains beautiful.
