One of the most beautiful climbs in the Netherlands with two hairpin bends. Tip! Don't drive yourself to death at the beginning, the climb weakens towards the end and this is the ideal point to make a final sprint.

In 1848, the owner of the land, J.A.P. Baron van Brakell of Doorwerth Castle, building a connecting road between the Fonteinallee and the Wolfhezerweg, which had been built two years earlier. Because of the hairpin bends in this new road (near the Fonteinallee) that Van Brakell had seen in Italian mountain roads, the name became Italian road.

One of the most beautiful climbs in the Netherlands. Quiet and authentic. When you arrive cycling, the bend surprises you for a moment (Ahh, here it is!) and suddenly you find yourself in another world, between the beech trees and over the cobblestones you shoot up and are surprised by the hairpin bends! And that in Central Netherlands. A mini-vacation in your tour.
