Not too difficult 2-kilometre climb on the main road from Bassenge to Houtain St. Siméon. Very busy with (car) traffic from Monday to Saturday but generally a lot quieter on Sundays. As indicated in the other reviews, there are nicer alternatives nearby.... read more

Niet te moeilijke klim van 2 kilometer over de doorgaande weg van Bassenge naar Houtain St. Siméon. Van maandag t/m zaterdag zeer druk met (auto)verkeer maar op zondag is het over het algemeen een stuk rustiger. Zoals in de andere reviews aangegeven zijn er leukere alternatieven in de buurt.

This is a major link road from Limburg to the Pays de Herve, but the climb is not very interesting. It is also very busy and not very pleasant. If you want a more spicy and quiet climb, you should choose the Chavée Arecht.

Grande route de liaison depuis le Limbourg vers le Pays de Herve, la montée ne présente pas beaucoup d'intérêt. Par ailleurs, elle est très fréquentée et pas très agréable. Privilégier la Chavée Arecht si vous voulez une montée plus pimentée et calme.

Riding uphill for two kilometers on a busy through road with no view and few turns. Not something most cyclists aspire to and fortunately there is a nice alternative in the form of the Chavée Arecht. As a climb not really challenging although the length makes itself felt and involuntarily you ride faster than expected because you just want to get it over with quickly. However, it is a good connecting road and the asphalt is mostly good.

Twee kilometer lang naar boven rijden op een drukke doorgaande weg zonder uitzicht en met weinig bochten. Niet iets wat de meeste fietsers ambiëren en gelukkig is er een mooi alternatief in de vorm van de Chavée Arecht. Als klim niet echt uitdagend al laat de lengte zich wel voelen en ongewild rijd je toch sneller dan verwacht omdat je deze gewoon snel achter de rug wilt hebben. Wel een goede verbindingsweg en het asfalt is overwegend goed.

This climb was in the Amstel Gold Race, so you'll have to do it sometime. After this I would ignore it (literally), and drive up via Chavée Arecht. The road is not great, there is a lot of traffic, and you don't have a view.

Deze klim zat in de Amstel Gold Race, dus je zal hem ooit wel een keer moeten doen. Hierna zou ik hem links laten liggen (letterlijk), en via Chavée Arecht naar boven rijden. De weg is niet geweldig, er rijdt redelijk wat verkeer, en een uitzicht heb je niet.
