A two-part climb. Most of it is a good (except for a concrete section near a farmhouse) and wide road that goes uphill for the most part nicely but not heavily, with some flat sections in between. Where the wide road bends to the right (and down), a narrow road with less good tarmac goes up to the left. First a short steep part, then flat and then it becomes quite spicy and you have to work. Further on it becomes less steep but almost to the end (where you come out on a through road) you still h... read more

Descending from Rue de Merckhof, the climb starts near the junction with Berg Clouse. Until just after the 2nd farm on the right of the road, it goes uphill at first. After the 1st farm on the left of the road it goes up again until after the right/left bend. After this it flattens out to false flat and keep left at the bus stop. At the next junction (near the traffic mirror) also keep left and you get the last/steartest part of the climb up to the main road between Hagelstein and Henri-Chapelle. At the top, look back and enjoy (especially in good weather) the wide views.

Afdalend vanaf Rue de Merckhof begint de klim t.h.v. de splitsing met Berg Clouse. Tot net na de 2e boerderij rechts van de weg loopt het eerst langzoom op. Na de 1e boerderij links van de weg gaat het weer stijgen tot na de rechts/links bocht. Hierna vlakt het af tot vals plat en hou je t.h.v. de bushalte linksaan. Op de volgende splitsing (bij de verkeersspiegel) hou je ook linksaan en krijg je het laatste/steilste deel van de klim tot aan de doorgaande weg tussen Hagelstein en Henri-Chapelle. Kijk boven nog eens even om en geniet (zeker bij mooi weer) van het wijdse uitzicht.

Once had to do a ride because Berg la Clouse was closed due to works. Great alternative, although the other one is a lot heavier

Ooit in een ritje moeten doen omdat Berg la Clouse dicht was wegens werkzaamheden. Prima alternatief, al is die andere wel een stuk zwaarder

A two-part climb. Most of it is a good (except for a concrete section near a farmhouse) and wide road that goes uphill for the most part nicely but not heavily, with some flat sections in between. Where the wide road bends to the right (and down), a narrow road with less good tarmac goes up to the left. First a short steep part, then flat and then it becomes quite spicy and you have to work. Further on it becomes less steep but almost to the end (where you come out on a through road) you still have to deal with hefty percentages. Beautiful views to the right (and back) and a very quiet environment. Because of the length and the very different percentages certainly a tough climb.

Een tweeledige klim. Het grootste deel is een goede (op een betonstuk bij een boerderij na) en brede weg die grotendeels lekker maar niet zwaar omhoog loopt, met enkele vlakke stukken er tussen. Waar de brede weg naar rechts (en naar beneden) buigt gaat er links een smal weggetje met minder goed asfalt omhoog. Eerst een kort steil stukje, daarna even vlak en daarna wordt het even behoorlijk pittig en mag er gewerkt worden. Verderop wordt het minder steil maar vrijwel tot het eind (waar je uitkomt op een doorgaande weg) heb je nog met flinke percentages te maken. Mooie uitzichten naar rechts (en naar achteren) en een erg rustige omgeving. Vanwege de lengte en de zeer wisselende percentages zeker een pittige klim.
