Very quiet col through a quiet area. The road winds up without becoming really steep. As often in this area, the slope is very irregular, alternating between 2% and 7%. At the top you have a nice view of the "Terres Noires", a dark grey-brown marlstone. It is characterized by the alternation of deep grooves in the surface.

Zeer rustige col door een rustig gebied. De weg slingert omhoog zonder dat het echt steil wordt. Zoals vaker in dit gebied is de helling zeer onregelmatig en wisselen 2% en 7-8% elkaar af. Bovenop heb je mooi uitzicht op de "Terres Noires", een donkergrijsbruine mergelsoort. Deze kenmerkt zich door de afwisseling van diepe groeven in het oppervlak.
