Steep climb made extra challenging by the cobbled road surface. In wet weather, your rear wheel can easily slip, so staying in the saddle is key. The road is fairly car-free, although there is still parking after the Spanish Gate; the Spanish Gate is very narrow, so if there is a car in front of you, there is a good chance you will have to dismount to wait until the car is completely through the gate.... read more

Steile klim die extra uitdagende is door het kasseienwegdek. Bij vochtig weer kan je achterwiel gemakkelijk doorslippen, dus is het zaak om in het zadel te blijven zitten. De weg is redelijk autoluw, al is er na de Spaanse poort nog wel een parkeerplaats; de Spaanse poort is heel smal, dus als er een auto voor je rijdt is er een grote kans dat je even af moet stappen om te wachten totdat de auto geheel door de poort is.

A short, very steep climb through the heart of Luxembourg City. The climb starts near the Alzette (turn right, Rue Sosthène Weis is on the left). There's only cobblestone, but it's not too rough. First, you pass the Spanish gate, where the path becomes narrower. You pass a second portico (less impressive than the Spanish gate) towards the end of the climb. The climb ends on the Feschmaart, just in front of the National Museum of Archaeology, History and Art, a very pleasant little square with cafés and bars. There's little traffic but lots of people, and of course people stop in front of the doors to take photos.

Montée courte et très raide au coeur de la ville de Luxembourg. L'ascension commence près de l'Alzette (on tourne à droite, la Rue Sosthène Weis se trouve à gauche). Il n'y a que du pavé qui n'est cependant pas trop grossier. Premièrement, on passe la porte espagnole, où le chemin devient plus étroit. On passe un deuxième portique (moins impressionnant que la porte espagnole) vers la fin de la montée. Celle-ci se termine sur le Feschmaart, juste devant le Musée National d'Archéologie, d'Histoire et d'Art, une petite place très sympa avec des cafés et des bars. Il y a peu de trafic mais beaucoup de monde et bien évidemment, les gens s'arrêtent devant les portes pour prendre des photos.
