Mooie klim door het bos. Je denkt dat je aan de top bent maar dan komt er nog een stevig uitloper. Boven lijkt het wel alsof je in de ardense bossen bent maar na enkele honderden meters afdalen zie je toch open landschap.... read more

Beautiful climb through the forest. You think you are at the top but then there is another solid spur. At the top, it looks like you're in the Ardennes forests but after a few hundred metres of descent you still see open landscape.

Nice climb on narrow road through the forest. Very pleasant when it is warm. There may be traffic that is difficult to pass because the road is narrow. It is not long, but steep enough to make you sweat.

You can start your descent here with a lot of speed. Be careful though, the road is quite narrow and there are often oncoming traffic. Beautiful scenery through the bush!

In my opinion, the most beautiful climb in the area. It is a really beautiful road and you don't feel like you are in Belgium at all. Because of the high speed at which you start the climb, you don't feel the first steep pentes very hard. But your speed drops quickly and then you feel it anyway. The last bend of 50m is also steep.
