Truly one of the nicest, most beautiful and finest climbs in the Belgian Ardennes. The condition of the road surface is great, no traffic encountered and the road winds up nicely. Nowhere really steep and therefore it goes up nicely. The scenery is beautiful and you sometimes have great views. Highl... read more

Truly one of the nicest, most beautiful and finest climbs in the Belgian Ardennes. The condition of the road surface is great, no traffic encountered and the road winds up nicely. Nowhere really steep and therefore it goes up nicely. The scenery is beautiful and you sometimes have great views. Highly recommended to definitely include in your route!

Oprecht een van de leukste, mooiste en fijnste beklimmingen van de Belgische Ardennen. De staat van het wegdek is top, geen verkeer tegen gekomen en de weg kronkelt mooi omhoog. Nergens echt steil en daardoor loopt ie lekker omhoog. Je De omgeving is mooi en je hebt soms mooi uitzicht. Echt een aanrader om zeker mee te nemen in je route!

One of the steepest climbs in the municipality of Aywaille! A nice percentage, a quiet road, hairpin bends and a magnificent landscape. All the ingredients are there for a great time. I love this hill!

Une des plus côte de la commune d'Aywaille ! Un beau pourcentage, une route refaite et calme, des virages en épingles et un paysage magnifique. Tous les ingrédients sont réunis pour un moment de plaisir. J'adore cette côte !

Nice climb that you should definitely do when you are in the area. The climb starts steep with many curves in the built-up area so you have little view. Then you get to the top of the hill and you have a beautiful view and it is very quiet.

Mooie klim die je zeker moet doen wanneer je in de buurt bent. De klim begint steil met veel bochten in de bebouwde kom waardoor je weinig uitzicht hebt. Dan kom je bovenaan de heuvel en heb je een schitterend uitzicht en is het erg rustig.

As already indicated, this is a gem, one of the most beautiful climbs I have done in Belgium. There is hardly any traffic and there is, I think, a new layer of asphalt, which makes the experience of meandering upwards - and you can take that literally - all the more enjoyable. After more than a kilometre, you leave the cultivation left and right between the pine trees behind you to climb up through the landscape to the steepest part, but it never gets really steep, ideal to enjoy the views that are now opening up more and more. I returned along the Côte de Kin where I think there's also a beautiful new road surface, it even became very hard to brake to avoid going off the road!

Zoals reeds aangegeven, dit is een pareltje, één van de mooiste beklimmingen de ik in België al deed. Er is amper verkeer en er ligt volgens mij ook een nieuw laagje asfalt, dat maakt de beleving van het naar boven slingeren - en dat mag je letterlijk nemen - er alleen maar leuker op. Na een dikke kilometer laat je de verkaveling links en rechts tussen de naaldbomen achter je om door het landschap het steilste stuk op te klauteren, maar echt stevig wordt het echter nooit, ideaal om te genieten van het uitzicht dat nu steeds meer opentrekt. Ik keerde terug langs de Côte de Kin waar er volgens mij ook een prachtig nieuw wegdek ligt, het werd zo zelfs stevig bijremmen om niet uit de bocht te gaan !

Nice climb, not too difficult (except for a short slope) which allows you to access the Amblève valley if you go down the Lorcé hill, whose summit is close by. You can also choose to go back down to Aywaille via the Kin hill. In short, a good way to escape the traffic.

Belle montée pas trop difficile (sauf un passage pentu assez court) qui permet d'accéder ensuite à la vallée de l'Amblève si on descend ensuite la côte de Lorcé dont le sommet est proche. On peut aussi choisir de redescendre sur Aywaille via la côte de Kin. Bref, une bonne manière d'échapper à la circulation ambiante.

What an incredibly beautiful climb.
Winding up over beautiful roads and wonderful views. Much nicer you will not find them.
This must be done and enjoy it.

Wat een ongelooflijk mooie klim.
Slingerend naar boven over mooie wegen en prachtige uitzichten. Veel mooier vind je ze niet .
Deze moet je gedaan hebben en geniet ervan.

A very nice climb, we had him in the route as the very first climb. This is certainly a good warm-up! Do not forget to enjoy the beautiful views.

Een zeer mooie klim, wij hadden hem in de route als allereerste klim. Deze is zeker een goede opwarmer! zeker niet vergeten genieten van de mooie uitzichten.

Turning up from a bigger track which starts from Aywaille. Was formerly part of the Harzé climbing race for newcomers and juniors. Fantastic climb with lots of twists and turns in the hairpins. After the steeper percentages the climb continues for a long time. Asphalt is not flawless but forgivable uphill.

Opdraaiend vanop grotere baan die vertrekt vanuit Aywaille. Zat vroeger in de klimkoers van Harzé voor nieuwelingen en junioren. Fantastische klim met het vele draaien en keren van de haarspeldbochten. Loopt na de steilere percentages nog vrij lang door. Asfalt is niet onberispelijk maar te vergeven bergop.

Nice climb that is not too steep. The hairpin bends and the beautiful views make this a nice climb. Little to no traffic when we cycled up it.

Mooi klimmetje dat niet te steil wordt. De haarspeldbochten en de mooie uitzichten maken dit een leuke beklimming. Weinig tot geen verkeer toen wij hem op fietsten.

Very nice climb with lots of hairpin bends. After the real climb you can turn right and continue on a very long false flat till Havelange

Unknown is unloved. And that certainly applies to this climb. With some nice bends, this narrow road is a real winner. In addition, it is not very steep. So you have all the time to look around. After two kilometers, you can put it back on the big plateau. It hurts, but the few kilometers you can use to deepen your lead or to make it smaller. But of course, you can also stop completely on it.

Onbekend is onbemind. En dat geldt zeker voor deze klim. Met enkele mooie bochten is deze smalle weg een echte aanrader. Daarenboven komt dat het niet heel steil wordt. Je hebt dus alle tijd om rond te kijken. Na twee kilometer kan je hem gerust terug op je grote plateau leggen. Het doet pijn, maar de uitloper van een paar kilometer kan je echt gebruiken om je voorsprong uit te diepen of om ze kleiner te maken. Maar je kan er natuurlijk ook volledig op stilvallen.

I had parked my car at the Lidl and thought I could warm up on this climb. Pretty steep climb though, I was more than warmed up at the top. Nice quiet climb, little traffic.

Ik had mijn auto bij de Lidl geparkeerd en ik dacht op dit klimmetje wel even op te warmen. Best stevig klimmetje hoor, ik was boven meer dan opgewarmd. Lekker rustige klim, weinig verkeer.

The first 2 km are among the most beautiful in the Ardennes!
It would be a shame if you rush up here and don't get to see anything.

De eerste 2km behoren tot de mooiste van de Ardennen!
Zou zonde zijn als je hier omhoog knalt en er niks van mee krijgt.

Yesterday I experienced this climb, wow, you feel like a climber from the TDF. Beautiful curves, views of climbers at the bottom of the mountain and with a nice cadence finally arrive at the top.... you think ... because it runs as false flat by so the upper legs just glow. Nice!

Gisteren deze klim mogen ervaren, wow , je voelt je toch even een klimmer uit de TDF. Mooie bochten , uitzicht op klimmers onderaan de berg en met een mooie cadans eindelijk boven komen....denk je ...want hij loopt nog even als vals plat door zodat de bovenbenen eventjes gloeien. Mooi !!

I think the red earth is particularly beautiful there. That seems only to occur in the tropics. And the view on the valley of the Ambleve. Greetings from a 46 year old woman from Maastricht

Ik vind de rode aarde daar bijzonder prachtig. Dat schijnt alleen maar in de tropen voor te komen. En het uitzicht op het dal van de Ambleve. Groet van een 46jarige vrouw uit Maastricht
