Very nice climb, nowhere too difficult or too steep. The first part along the Abbey of Leffe, which you can admire from above, is definitely worthwhile.
Superleuke beklimming, nergens te lastig of te steil. Het eerste deel langs de abdij van Leffe die je vanuit de hoogte kan aanschouwen, is zeker de moeite.
As I said before, if you think that coming from Dinant, I want to go to Yvoir and have a nice climb, then do this one. The regular climb gives a nice view in its first part, then, going along the rocks, it makes you think of the hinterland of Nice, Cannes, the cornices... At the Viet farm, the ground surface does not look good. It is often very windy here. You have the impression that you are not moving forward. Unfortunately the road surface on the descent is in such a bad state that it becomes dangerous. Even when braking, the bike jumps from bump to bump, from hollow to hollow. It's just good for puncturing the tyre, or even taking a nasty blow to the rim. What a shame.
Rejoignant l'avis précédent, si vous vous dites qu'en venant de Dinant, je veux aller jusqu'Yvoir en me faisant une belle côte, alors faite celle-ci. La montée régulière donne une chouette vue dans sa première partie, ensuite, en longeant des rochers elle fait penser à l'arrière pays de Nice, Cannes, les corniches... A la ferme de Viet, le revêtement au sol ne rend pas bien. Souvent à cet endroit il y a beaucoup de vent. Vous avez l'impression de ne pas avancer. Malheureusement le revêtement au sol dans la descente est dans un tel état que ça devient dangereux. Même en freinant, le vélo sautille de bosses en bosses, de creux en creux. C'est juste bon à crever le pneu, voir même prendre un sale coup dans la jante. Quel dommage.
Pleasant steady climb on an excellent road surface. The views to the right in the first part are great. Once you enter the real Viet straight ahead at the crossroads to the farm on the top, the climb flattens out, but you also get worse tarmac under your wheels. Especially since the part that you do have to descend leaves much to be desired in terms of road surface quality, I would for this climb next time turn right at the intersection, hopefully that is better. In sum, it is fun if you are in the area, but because you have to be really careful and you constantly have to swerve in the descent, I would only do the second part if there is no other option.
Aangename gestage beklimming op een voortreffelijk wegdek. De vergezichten langs rechts in het eerste deel zijn om van te genieten. Eens je de echte Viet opgaat rechtdoor op het kruispunt naar de boerderij op de top vlakt de klim af, maar krijg je ook steeds slechter asfalt onder de wielen. Vooral ook omdat het stuk dat je wél moet afdalen van wegdekkwaliteit de wensen overlaat zou ik voor deze klim volgende keer op het kruispunt toch rechts afdraaien, hopelijk is dat beter. In som dus leuk als je in de buurt bent, maar omdat het echt opletten is en je constant moet uitwijken in de afdaling zou ik het tweede deel toch alleen maar doen als er geen andere optie is.
