4.0 by Gunter1975This is an automatic translation, the original language is: Dutch.The climb from Saint-Jans Cappel starts just after the roundabout (clearly marked with signs). It goes up very gently in the beginning. You always stay on the main road and that makes it a nasty climb. Halfway up, it reaches its peak (> 10%) with a gentle spur. From the top you quickly head for the border (FR - BE) and you can take the Vidaigneberg and the Baneberg (!) on the same road.... read more

It starts at a sad roundabout. Our route joins the Berthen side route, so the end is identical. A more demanding end than the dull start. The road is beyond reproach and motorists know it. I'm still not won over by this Mont Noir. The Mont des Cats remains by far my favourite.
Ça commence sur un rond-point tout triste. Notre route rejoint l’itinéraire du versant Berthen et la fin est donc identique. Une fin plus exigeante que le début bien terne. La route est irréprochable et les automobilistes le savent. Je ne suis toujours pas conquis par ce Mont Noir. Le Mont des Cats reste de loin mon favori.
Ah si tout de même : l’ancien poste frontière et l’estaminet sont craquants.
Mais, ça, c’est après l’arrivée en roulant vers le Mont Rouge.

De klim vanuit Saint-Jans Cappel begint vlak na het rond punt (duidelijk aangegeven met bordjes). Hij loopt in het begin heel zachtjes op. Je blijft altijd op de grote baan en dat maakt het een vervelende klim. Halverwege gaat hij naar z’n piek (> 10%) met nog een zachte uitloper. Van op de top rij je snel richting grens (FR - BE) en kan je via de zelfde baan de Vidaigneberg én de Baneberg (!) meenemen.
