Short and vicious climb from centtrum Bolland towards Rue Dessus-le-Bois/Rue Hacboister. Largest part runs at 10％ or more. After the right turn, you will be at the top by the last house on Rue Dessus-le-Bois.... read more

Nice vicious climb, not particularly difficult because of the short distance. A lovely climb, though, to stomp uphill on power when the legs feel good.

This climb is doable if you change to a light gear in time. In this case, it is just a question of keeping on rolling. At the top, there is a beautiful view of the valley from where you started.

Nice surprise in the Walloon country south of Limburg. The Thier must know how to find and then it offers a nice challenge. "Just" through the buildings of Bolland steeply upwards. One of the toughest climbs in the area.

Nice climb with a steep percentage in the direction of the Netherlands. Good tarmac, not crowded. Nice raking :p

Like almost all Thier's steep gradient....
Not extremely heavy.... Nothing to be afraid of.
What is nice is the perfect asphalt...

Difficult and unexpected climb in a small hamlet. Straight up with a steep percentage. Doable, if you are in shape.

You don't see this climb coming. You turn with a 90 degree bend from a descent. Important that you have already shifted down a bit, because the climb starts immediately spicy and it remains so. On the way back to the Netherlands, this climb is often at the end, always hurts.
