A climb on a busy provincial road without a cycle path. So you have to share the road with a lot of other traffic but they drove well, even though the trucks in particular are a bit scary. The climb is less endless than you would expect because it can be cut into three parts: First, the road gets steeper until the roundabout, then it flattens out for a while, after which the road gets steeper again (this part feels tough but there are some bends that are good aiming points) until Henri-Chapelle. After that, it is a short ride to the water tower where the highest point is. Reasonable to good tarmac and sometimes quite nice views, especially to the right.
Een klim over een drukke provinciale weg zonder fietspad. Je moet de weg dus delen met heel veel ander verkeer maar er werd netjes gereden al blijven m.n. de vrachtwagens een beetje eng. De klim is minder eindeloos dan je zou verwachten omdat deze in drie stukken te knippen is: Eerst wordt de weg steiler tot de rotonde, daarna weer even vlakker waarna de weg weer steiler wordt (dit stuk voelt pittig aan maar er zijn enkele bochten die goede mikpunten zijn) tot Henri-Chapelle. Daarna is het lichtjes uitfietsen tot bij de watertoren waar het hoogste punt is. Redelijk tot goed asfalt en soms best aardig uitzicht, vooral naar rechts.
