Steep climb always a beautiful view over the valley during the climb, enough brooks along the way to refill the water bottle for refreshing water or to cool down, there is also a café about halfway.

Stevige beklimming altijd een mooi uitzicht over de vallei tijdens de beklimming, genoeg beekjes langs de weg voor de drinkbus bij te vullen voor verfrissend water of voor afkoeling er is ook een café ongeveer halverwege.
