This climb starts steep, but quickly flattens out. In any case, the flattened part can also be tricky since you find yourself in an open plain. In terms of traffic, you won't encounter much here either so definitely worthwhile... read more

Dit klimmetje begint steil, maar vlakt snel af. Het uitgevlakte deel kan in elk geval ook nog lastig zijn aangezien je jezelf in een open vlakte bevindt.

Qua verkeer kom je hier ook niet veel tegen dus zeker de moeite waard

I did this climb at the end of April and the track was relatively clean. There was some gravel, nothing more. In the winter months, I think it can be littered with mud and the like, as you climb up through a hollow in the middle of meadows.
Big advantage: there is hardly any motorised traffic and at the top of the plateau you have a great view. Disadvantage: the wind can wreak havoc here ;-)

Eind april heb ik dit klimmetje gedaan, en de baan lag er relatief "proper" bij. Last van wat grind, meer niet. In de wintermaanden kan het er volgens mij bezaaid liggen met modder en dergelijke, aangezien je middenin de weilanden omhoog klautert door een holleweg.
Gigantisch voordeel: gemotoriseerd verkeer ontmoet je er dus amper, en bovenaan het plateau heb je een weids uitzicht. Nadeel: de wind kan er lelijk huishouden ;-)

The beginning is ff 'steep' but then it is nothing special, the environment is nice but the road is (as indicated by a sign) bad. I would 'm not necessarily meepakken but to 'm now to avoid is also something eh, but well. There are many nicer 'climbs' in the neighborhood.

Het begin is ff 'steil' maar daarna is het niks speciaals, de omgeving is wel leuk maar het wegdek is (zoals aangegeven met een bord) slecht. Ik zou 'm niet per se meepakken maar om 'm nu te ontwijken is ook zoiets hè, maar goed. Er zijn veel mooiere 'beklimmingen' in de buurt.
