Old entrance to Walcourt. Difficult passage over 40m in the last part of the cobbled section. The view of the balsique Saite Materne may help you find your way back ;-). The gradient then eases but the climb is still a few hectometres long.... read more

Ancienne entrée de Walcourt. Passage difficile sur 40m dans la derniere partie de la section pavée. La vue sur la balsique Saite Materne permettra peut-être de retrouver des forece ;-). La pente s'adouci ensuite mais l'ascension reste longie de quelques hectomères.

To be honest, the lane climbs well and you are well protected from the wind. It's mainly when you get back onto the road that there's a wall and it's difficult. The final stretch is also difficult, with a steep climb.

Franchement la ruelle se monte bien, on est bien protégé du vent. C'est surtout au moment de repasser sur la route qu'il y a un mur et que c'est difficile. La dernière ligne droite est également difficile, ça monte très fort.
