Steep in the last kilometer (16/17％) on reasonably chunky gravel. Glad I had a 50/34 + 11/34 gear train and 28mm tyres. Take care on the diagonalled metal drainage troughs. A nice short but technical climb on a road bike.... read more

Profile is wrong, is much steeper and you don't do it for anything. Maybe doable by mountain bike but only if you really have nothing to do, which is hard to imagine with all the other climbs around. By the way, after the climb you can eat well at pizza Casa

Profiel klopt niet, is veel steiler en je doet het nergens voor. Met de mountainbike misschien nog te doen maar alleen als je echt niks te doen hebt, wat moeilijk voor te stellen is met alle andere klimmen in de buurt. Overigens kun je na de klim wel lekker eten bij pizza Casa
