Longest climb in the Czech Republic, but honestly, only the last 7-8km can be considered a real climb with a gradient of around 8％. Most people end the ride on Vrbatova bouda (old mounting hut), but you can actually ride a few more kilometers to Labska bouda. Anyway, it is a nice climb and I can definitely recommend it. ... read more

Fantastic climb! Nice start in the forest and flat. Once higher up it gets spicy, especially as the riding surface does not improve as the altitude metres increase. Just after Vitkovice there are currently roadworks. You can detour via the other road in Vitkovice and then turn off again towards the climb!

Fantastische klim! Mooi beginnend in het bos en vlakjes. Eenmaal hogerop wordt het pittig, zeker omdat het rijoppervlak niet beter wordt naarmate de hoogtemeters toenemen. Net na Vitkovice zijn op dit moment wegwerkzaamheden. Omrijden kan via de andere weg in Vitkovice om daarna weer af te steken richting de klim!

The long approach through the forest is already beautiful, but the climb itself is stunning. From the point where cars are not allowed to continue, the percentages increase slightly (to 10％) but the views on the last stretch are phenomenal. We did have a lot of walking families that we had to navigate between.

De lange aanloop door het bos is al mooi, maar de klim zelf is prachtig. Vanaf het punt waar auto’s niet verder mogen lopen de percentages iets op (tot 10％) maar het uitzicht op het laatste stuk is fenomenaal. Wel hadden wij heel veel wandelende gezinnen waar we tussendoor moesten laveren.

A beautiful climb with a long easy start and more testing upper section, especially in case of a headwind.
Superb views in late September with coloured leaves/nature around. Worth adding the few kms to Labska bouda, but be careful - there can be many tourists.

Long approach through the forest along a stream to the real climb (as described above). But that climb is beautiful. At the top you are rewarded with great views. Descend carefully as the asphalt is not of good quality everywhere.

Lange aanloop door het bos langs een beekje naar de echte klim (zoals eerder beschreven). Maar die klim is prachtig. Op de top word je beloond met geweldig uitzicht. Voorzichtig afdalen want het asfalt is niet overal van goede kwaliteit.
