A beautiful climb that first passes through the village before rising steeply. The rest of the route is a succession of small hills interspersed with 2 descents (never very long). Once you have crossed the dam (you can also cycle around the lake without any problems), a final uphill section leads to the summit.... read more

Hidden gem in the Fagne. The climb starts gently through the village and then immediately goes up and down with some steeper sections. Towards the dam, the landscape becomes more beautiful with views of the lake. After the dam there is a final climb to the top.

Verborgen juweeltje in de Fagne. De klim begint rustig door het dorp en gaat daarna meteen op en af met enkele steilere stroken. Richting de stuwdam wordt het landschap mooier met uitzicht op het meer. Na de dam volgt nog een laatste klimmetje tot boven.

This one is worth a visit. Also feel free to stop at the dam, but there is still a bit of a climb to follow.

Deze is de moeite waard om eens langs te gaan. Stop ook gerust eens aan de stuwdam, maar dan volgt er wel nog een stuk klim.

One of the trickier climbs in this region. The first section in particular is nicely irregular with a few steep sections above 10％. After the descent there is a small final stretch. After descending, you arrive at a nice reservoir.

In deze regio een van de lastigere klimmen. Met name het eerste stuk is lekker onregelmatig met een paar steile stukken van boven de 10％. Na de afdaling volgt nog een klein slotstuk. Na afdaling kom je bij een mooi stuwmeer uit.

Nice climb! Heavy start where it's best not to go full speed. Then pick up speed and try to hold it on the second hump, maybe enjoy the view of the lake for a while, and then a solid bouncer anyway.

Leuke beklimming! Zwaar begin waar je best niet voluit gaat. Daarna snelheid maken en proberen vast te houden op het tweede bultje, misschien even genieten van het zicht op het meer, en daarna toch nog een stevige uitsmijter.

Belle montée qui traverse d'abord le village avant de s'élever fortement. la suite se passe dans une succession de petites côtes entrecoupées de 2 descentes (jamais très longues). Une fois le barrage traversé (on peut faire aussi le tour du lac à vélo sans aucun souci), une dernière portion ascendante permet d'arriver au sommet.
