Climbing past ancient mines isn’t something you can do just anywhere. And here, the mines are 2,000 years old, to boot. To get to the start, you’ll first have to descend (if you’re on a gravel bike or MTB, you can take a different approach route). It’s worth it for the view alone. And to brush up on your local mining history. Don’t expect much from the road surface. It’s in fair condition at the start, and a little further on there’s even a short stretch of cobblestones?

It looked almost like a sector from Paris–Roubaix. After that, there’s a lovely climb up to the village.
Klimmen langs hele oude mijnen, dat kan niet overal. En hier zijn de mijnen ook nog eens 2000 jaar oud. Om bij het begin te komen zul je eerst moeten afdalen (met een gravelfiets of mtb kun je nog een andere aanrijroute pakken). Het is het alleen al voor het uitzicht waard. En om je lokale historische mijnkennis bij te schaven. Verwacht niet veel van het wegdek. In het begin matig, even verderop zelfs een kort stuk mijnsteen-kasseien? Het lag er bijna bij als een secteur uit Parijs-Roubaix. Daarna mooie helling naar het dorp.
