For the challenge, you shouldn't take this one. Unless you want to test mental strength. Straight ahead and seems endless. Can you ride up smoothly though. Once you get the right cadence, it's okay. Recommended not to do alone.... Just because of that 'mental factor'.... read more

Voor de uitdaging moet je deze niet nemen. Tenzij je de mentale sterkte wil testen. Rechtdoor en lijkt eindeloos. Kun je wel vlot omhoog rijden. Eens je de goede cadans te pakken hebt, gaat het wel. Aan te raden om niet alleen te doen... Net omwille van die 'psychische factor'.

Boring long climb that goes mostly straight and is nowhere exciting in terms of percentages. At one point you have a bike path, which is nice with the traffic.
Should you want to climb Baraque Michel I would 'm from Lac de la Gileppe or from Membach, much nicer versions

Saaie lange beklimming die vooral rechtdoor gaat en nergens spannend is qua percentages. Op een gegeven moment heb je een fietspad, wat wel lekker is met het verkeer.
Mocht je Baraque Michel willen beklimmen dan zou ik 'm vanuit Lac de la Gileppe of vanuit Membach rijden, stuk mooiere versies

Psychologically tough climb (yet challenging as a result) as you only ride on wide roads and it is largely an endless runner. Beautiful green scenery, though. From the start you can already see the road going up as a straight line. After the first bend comes a bike lane which does make it a bit more relaxed mentally because cars're driving fast here. Two bends further, you see a stretch of almost 3 kilometres stretching ahead of you and it feels long before you reach the T-junction (nice view to the back). From here, no more bike lane but relatively soon it flattens out a bit, Baraque Michel follows and then another small incline to the top. More a good link route than a nice climb but the scenery is beautiful and oh well.... still it has something so's endless uphill road in front of you.

Psychisch zware klim (daardoor toch wel weer uitdagend) omdat je alleen op brede wegen rijdt en het grotendeels een eindeloos durende loper is. Wel een mooie groene omgeving. Vanaf het begin zie je de weg al als een rechte lijn omhoog lopen. Na de eerste bocht komt er een fietsstrook wat het mentaal wel wat relaxter maakt want er wordt hier door de auto's hard gereden. Twee bochten verder zie je een stuk van bijna 3 kilometer voor je uit strekken en het voelt lang voordat je bij de T-splitsing bent (mooi uitzicht naar achteren). Vanaf hier geen fietsstrook meer maar relatief snel wordt het iets vlakker, volgt Baraque Michel en daarna nog een kleine helling tot de top. Meer een goede verbindingsroute dan een leuke klim maar de omgeving is mooi en ach... toch heeft het wel wat zo'n eindeloze stijgende weg voor je.

This climb is not really difficult, not really steep and there is a lot of traffic. You do have a very nice bike path on most of it and very wide but the cars do drive past you really fast and short

Deze beklimming is niet echt moeilijk, niet echt stijl en er is veel verkeer. Je hebt wel een heel mooi fietspad op het grootste deel en heel breed maar de auto’s rijden wel echt snel en kort langs je door

If you start in Betane, you have a 14.55-kilometre climb and around 450 altimeters. There may be some flat sections in there, but you're still climbing for a particularly long time for Benelux. The road is not very exciting, but you are safe because you can ride on the bike path.

Als je start in Betane heb je een klim van 14.55 kilometer en ongeveer 450 hoogtemeters. Er zitten dan wel wat vlakke stukken in, maar je bent toch voor de Benelux bijzonder lang aan het klimmen. De weg is niet heel spannend, maar je bent wel veilig omdat je over het fietspad kunt rijden.

Nice climb with which you actually finish the ascent from Eupen via Lac de La Gileppe. After Baraque Michel, you can continue to Signal de Botrange, so you can include the highest point of Belgium.

Leuke klim waarmee je eigenlijk de beklimming vanuit Eupen via Lac de La Gileppe afsluit. Na Baraque Michel kan je nog verder fietsen tot Signal de Botrange zodat je het hoogste punt van België er ook bijneemt.

A long and steady climb to the highest point in Belgium, but the fact that it is a national road does not make it very pleasant. The view at the top is however worth the detour.

Montée longue et régulière qui permet d'accéder au point culminant de la Belgique mais le fait que ce soit une route nationale ne la rend malheureusement pas très agréable. Le point de vue au sommet vaut cependant le détour.

Cycled in the summer of 2020. Not really special: nice for some extra heightmeters, but for the surroundings you don't have to detour.

Gefietst in de zomer van 2020. Niet heel bijzonder: leuk voor wat extra hoogtemeters, maar voor de omgeving hoef je er niet voor om te fietsen

Nice for the altimeters, but otherwise only as a west-east connection after the nice road through Solwaster because after that there is little choice.

Leuk voor de hoogtemeters, maar verder hoogstens als west-oost verbinding na de leuke weg door Solwaster omdat er daarna weinig keuze is.

In my opinion, the climb starts at Bètâne which means that the climb covers almost 450 hm.

Naar mijn idee begint de klim al bij Bètâne waardoor de klim bijna 450 hm overbrugt.
