Oy oy, this is a tough one. Entering this path from the main road, you can't quite see what a monster it actually is. You do notice immediately how poor the road surface is.

Oy oy, this is a tough one. Entering this path from the main road, you can't quite see what a monster it actually is. You do notice immediately how poor the road surface is. That does not bode well, you think. And indeed, as you approach the forest, a nasty wall immediately pops up. And the steepness goes on and on. Meanwhile, you lave between the pebbles, bumps and dirt on the road. You keep the pressure on your front wheel because otherwise you lose grip altogether. 'After 300 metres it will be over,' I had said to my cycling buddy. But nothing could be further from the truth. The road does flatten out for a while, but after that there is just another nasty stretch in front of your wheels. That makes this climb surely one of the toughest in the Ardennes.

What a climb! I'd heard about it a few years ago when the climb was part of the Jean Nelissen Classic. You don't want to do this to a rider after 200km :-P (cramp guaranteed!) Moderate to bad and polluted road surface, but beautiful scenery. When you come out of the woods it flattens out. Tip: cross the road and make the climb all the way up. You can then turn back to Vianden via the reservoir.

Really hard climb on a small road through the forest with bad road surface. After the forest the road flattens and you get a view on the castle of Vianden. Furthermore, no chicken to see. Above you can descend towards the castle.

This is literally a wall. Totally undiscovered. You drive right past it. The road surface is especially bad at the beginning. Yet it is a nice challenge because pretty soon you hit the 20％. Only the experienced climbers can get up here without having to dismount.
