Story by Karsten from , Denmark, submitted on 31/08/2011

I tried to do this ride, but missed the last route towards the lake. If you plan to do this climb, be sure to check when to turn. Otherwise the climb was great, the first 10km before the descend are steep, the road is great, good asphalt and little traffic. After the descend the route flattens a bit, more traffic and it just feels like a new climb on it''s own, since it''s so different than the first 10km.
