Tricky but beautiful. The cobbles are sometimes very bad, especially at the top at the stretch where you have to cross the road. Once you get to the centre, you think you're off it but it's still false flat over the cobbles. Beautiful town, great views over the valley. Recommended... read more

Lastig maar mooi. De kasseien liggen er soms heel slecht bij, vooral bij het boven komen aan het stuk waar je de weg moet dwarsen. Eens je aan het centrum bent denk je dat je er vanaf bent maar loopt het nog vals plat over de kasseien. Prachtig stadje, prachtig uitzicht over de vallei. Aanrader

As I said in my commentary on the ascent of the Mur de Thuin, the wall is hard because you can't accelerate on these cobbles in poor condition. The rest of the climb is still nice, although it's always cobbles, but it doesn't climb as hard.

Comme je l'ai dit sur le commentaire de l'ascension du mur de Thuin, le mur est dur car on ne peut pas accélérer sur ces pavés en mauvais état. La suite de l'ascension est quand même sympa, bien que tout le temps en pavés, mais ça monte moins fort.

The first part (asphalt) is ok, once you start the cobbled part you can feel the high percentage. Once you leave the paved part, the climb is less difficult.

la première partie (goudronnée) est correcte, une fois que l'on attaque la partie pavée on ressent bien les pourcentage élevé. Une fois sortie de la partie pavée ça grimpe mois difficilement.

This climb is in any case the most important part in the beginning. You turn into a narrow road with cobblestones, although they are easy to cycle on. If you start fast enough, you can easily get over the steepest part, which is near the end of the narrow road. Once you've turned onto the wider street, it becomes less steep. This slope was the finish of one of the stages (I think even the final stage) in the Tour de Wallonie. And that showed that this little hill is no problem at all for the pros. Year after year, it became a long sprint. But if you're here, you should definitely do it. Also because of the picturesque village of Thuin at the top.

Bij deze klim ligt het zwaartepunt sowieso in het begin. Je draait een smalle weg op met kasseien, al zijn die goed befietsbaar. Vertrek voldoende snel, dan geraak je eenvoudig over het steilste stuk dat zo tegen het einde van die smalle straat ligt. Eenmaal je de bredere straat bent opgedraaid, wordt het minder steil. Deze helling was enkele jaren de vaste aankomst van een rit (ik geloof zelfs de slotetappe) in de Ronde van Wallonië. En daaruit bleek dat dit hellinkje voor profs geen enkel probleem is. Het werd jaar na jaar een lange sprint. Maar als je hier eens bent, moet je hem zeker doen. Ook vanwege het pittoreske dorpje Thuin dat boven ligt.

You are mistaken, the arrival is in front of the Athenee. This street is a long straight line. The Thuin wall is much earlier and much more difficult. Of course the pros ride it on their bikes, but even on foot it's not an easy climb at all.

Vous confondez, l arriver se trouve devant l Athenee. Cette rue est une longue ligne droite. Le mur de thuin est bien avant et bien plus difficile. Bien sûr les pros le monte en vélo mais même à pied cette cote n est pas évidente du tout.
