If you like gravel and climbing, this route is for you! And if you like beautiful places with an incredible view, look no further! A 1234m climb that can take you on many other gravel trails to prolong the pleasure.
A gravel climb on forest roads with a 95% gravel route. No paths, only roads for an intense gravel pleasure. A nice climb of 1234m, so you need to have the right equipment with 34-36 teeth at the back (on a double chainring). The view at the top is magnificent on several valleys, the surrounding peaks.
