The view is nothing, the climb is not pleasant (at 20% on a clinker road, it is logical) and the pleasure is very relative. But if it's to make percentage, it's top. It's just a sporty experience... or something to check if the chain is solid. Avoid it if it's freezing... especially on the way down. By the way, it is indicated! I live next door, I do it once or twice a year and every time I think it's a stupid thing to do. So I'm going to go for a consultation.... read more

I went there to make a video when the sun was shining, I put 4 for the difficulty because for the landscape it's not the prettiest, https://youtu.be/EL_GTg7Eh5o

J'y suis passé faire une vidéo quand le soleil était au rendez-vous , je mets 4 pour la difficulté car pour le paysage ce n'est pas la plus jolie , https://youtu.be/EL_GTg7Eh5o

They added an even bigger sign.with danger :).
It's a short wall of 22pct, definitely not a nice climb, but if you're in the area, definitely climb it once

Ze hebben er een nog groter bord.met gevaar toegevoegd :).
Het is een kort muurtje van 22pct, zeker geen mooie klim, maar als je in de buurt bent, zeker eens beklimmen

Climb for those who like challenges because there is some % in this climb, the first part is done in the houses then passing under a bridge we see the WALL cobbled street and it rises very strong a few hundred meters, if you want to see the climb here is my video https://youtu.be/qhzesIWm2VY

Montée pour ceux qui aime les défis car il y a du % dans cette montée , la première partie se fait dans les maisons puis passant sous un pont on aperçois le MUR en pavé de rue et cela monte très fort quelques centaines de mètres , si vous voulez voir la montée voici ma vidéo https://youtu.be/qhzesIWm2VY

Just look a metre in front of you and stomp up to the top on those rotten stones here. Nice to have done once but not so cool otherwise. The spur between the buildings can also be a bit of a pain.

Gewoon een meter voor je kijken en tot boven stoempen op die rotsteentjes hier. Leuk om eens gedaan te hebben maar voor de rest toch niet zo tof. De uitloper tussen de bebouwing kan ook nog wat pijn doen.

The clinker road at 20+% percent is a horror - my gut says the real gradient is even higher - but fortunately it doesn't take too long. It's quiet and the road is wide from the clinker road, so as long as it's not raining or icy you should be able to rake up to the top. Do it if you are in the neighborhood, and the percentages on cobblestones make it for me worthwhile to drive around. Do it!

De klinkerweg aan 20+% percent is een verschrikking - mijn gevoel zegt dat het echte stijgingspercentage nog hoger ligt -, maar duurt gelukkig niet te lang. Het is er rustig en de weg is breed vanaf de klinkerweg, dus zolang het niet regent of ijzig is moet het wel lukken om tot boven te harken. Beslist doen als je in de buurt bent, en de percentages op klinkers maken het voor mij wel de moeite waard om even voor rond te rijden. Doen !

la vue n'apporte rien, la montée n'est pas agréable (à 20% sur une route en clinkers , c'est logique) et le plaisir est très relatif. Mais si c'est pour faire du pourcentage, c'est top. C'est juste une expérience sportive... ou un truc à vérifier si la chaîne est solide. A éviter absolument si il gèle... surtout dans le sens de la descente. D'ailleurs c'est indiqué! J'habite à côté, je la fais une fois ou deux par an et à chaque fois je me dis que c'est un truc de con. Du coup, je vais aller consulter.
