This climb, a little more than a kilometer
in length, has a constant grade of between 11 and 12% and ends at a mere
200 m a.s.l. The strange thing about it is that it is designed as a tunnel
with six switchbacks, each pair of three switchbacks constitutes one and a
half loop. Effectively this means that while climbing inside the mountain
you are looping around three times. A very strange toll road that has become
a tourist attraction.
