From the Meuse, you climb over fairly busy roads to Col du Loup, from where you can descend to the Semois at Hautes-Rivières. Wide road, gradual climb. Lots of forest. 3.1 km after the bridge over the Meuse, there is a viewpoint where you can get off the bike for a moment for a view. I saw a hazelworm here. Except for the traffic, fine, but no special climb. The descent afterwards is nice.... read more

Vanaf de Maas klim je over vrij drukke verkeerswegen naar de Col du Loup, vanwaar je kunt afdalen naar de Semois bij Hautes-Rivières. Brede weg, geleidelijke klim. Veel bos. 3.1 km na de brug over de Maas is er een uitzichtpunt waar je even van de fiets kunt voor een uitzicht. Ik zag hier een hazelworm. Op het verkeer na prima, maar geen bijzondere klim. De afdaling daarna is mooi.
