4.0 by ErikB40This is an automatic translation, the original language is: Dutch.Lovely quiet climb, mostly on tarmac and sheltered by trees. Last kilometres are unpaved, but doable on MTB. After the Abbaye, you can continue on MTB for about 4km on a gravel path. The latter is definitely worthwhile, as you cycle in a more open environment and can enjoy the views. Plus another 200 or so extra altimeters! Oh yes, at the end of that path there are picnic tables along a stream to chill out for a while!... read more

Heerlijk stille klim, grotendeels over asfalt en beschut door bomen. Laatste kilometers zijn onverhard, maar goed te doen op MTB. Na de Abbaye kun je op de MTB nog zo’n 4km verder over een grindpad. Dit laatste is zeker de moeite waard, omdat je dan in een meer open omgeving fietst en kunt genieten van het uitzicht. Plus nog een stuk of 200 extra hoogtemeters! Oh ja, aan het einde van dat pad staan picknicktafels langs een beek om even te chillen!
Nice very gentle climb on a narrow road through mainly woodland. You hardly meet anyone here. Generally quite regular with a few outliers up to 12％. After about 6 km the tarmac turns into quite coarse gravel, I was happy with mikm gravel bike, on a road bike the last 2 km is quite difficult to do. At the top of the climb, in the middle of nowhere, there is suddenly a restaurant with parking.
Mooie zeer rustige klim over een smal weggetje door hoofdzakelijk bosgebied. Je komt hier bijna niemand tegen. Over het algemeen vrij regelmatig met een paar uitschieters tot 12％. Na een km of 6 gaat het asfalt over in vrij grof grind, ik was blij met mikm gravelbike, op een racefiets is de laatste 2 km vrij lastig te doen. Bovenop de klim is in de middle of nowhere ineens een restaurant met parking.
