A nice little climb in the fresh air! It doesn't take long to get into the swing of things and the finish is well worth the diversions!

Nice quiet climb on a small road. Preferable to the D983 a bit further up in Saint-Laurent-de-Trêves.

Mooie rustige beklimming over een kleine weg. Qua rust te verkiezen boven de D983 wat verderop in Saint-Laurent-de-Trêves.
