A very quiet, fairly gentle climb through the forest. The least difficult way to reach the Rideux pass, the only Belgian pass recognised by the Institut Géographique National. In the other direction, it can be used as a convenient link between one of the north or south sides of the Rideux and the Roche-à-Frêne hill.... read more

A very quiet, fairly gentle climb through the forest. The least difficult way to reach the Rideux pass, the only Belgian pass recognised by the Institut Géographique National. In the other direction, it can be used as a convenient link between one of the north or south sides of the Rideux and the Roche-à-Frêne hill.

Montée forestière fort tranquille et pas trop raide. La façon la moins difficile d'accéder au col du Rideux, le seul col belge reconnu par l'Institut Géographique National. Dans le sens de la descente, elle peut servir de jonction commade entre l'un des versants nord ou sud du Rideux et la côte de Roche-à-Frêne.
