I found the stretch of bad road surface not too bad - especially by Walloon standards, although some of it is an asphalted cart track. Taking it easy here is no punishment because the scenery is very beautiful. Until then, you are still between houses where it goes up very steeply. As soon as you enter the small road, it becomes more hilly with some nasty bits in between. From the first house the road improves again, there is a descent after which there is a fairly steep section that runs almost to the end.

Het stuk slechte wegdek vond ik nog meevallen - zeker voor Waalse begrippen al is er wel deels sprake van een geasfalteerd karrenspoor. Hier wat rustiger aandoen is overigens geen straf want de omgeving is erg fraai. Tot die tijd zit je nog tussen de huizen waarbij het erg steil omhoog gaat. Zodra je het kleine weggetje inrijdt wordt het meer glooiend waarbij er soms wel venijnige stukjes tussen zitten. Vanaf het eerste huis wordt de weg weer beter, volgt er een afdaling waarna er nog een best steil stuk komt wat vrijwel loopt tot het eind.

The warning about a bad road surface is not for nothing, as it is indeed not in the best shape. This is probably why we encountered a mountain biker, as the local cycling fanatics probably avoid this road. Unjustly so, because the views along the way are magnificent and you can enjoy the silence in the forest. A beautiful hidden gem as far as I'm concerned. Once out of the forest, the road slopes up and down, forcing you to pedal hard every now and then. It reminded me a bit of Les Waides at times. I like it!

De waarschuwing voor een slecht wegdek is niet voor niks, want dat ligt er inderdaad niet al te best bij. Vandaar waarschijnlijk ook dat wij er een mountainbiker tegenkwamen, omdat de lokale wielerfanaten deze weg waarschijnlijk mijden. Overigens onterecht, want het uitzicht onderweg is magnifiek en je kunt in het bos heerlijk genieten van de stilte. Wat mij betreft een mooi verborgen pareltje. Eenmaal uit het bos glooit de weg op en neer waardoor je af en toe nog flink in de pedalen moet. Het liet mij af en toe wat aan Les Waides denken. Ik vind m mooi! Wij zijn 'm overigens opgefietst vanaf het plateau van Drolenval, nadat wij eerst de Drolenval hadden beklommen.
