What is special about this climb is that you cycle under the Perekop rock. You have more roads with rock formation but your these are just a bit more impressive. In terms of climbing, it is quite manageable. In the beginning, you can pedal nicely at fine percentages. Then it even flattens out and from the Perekop you get a slightly steeper stretch. When you leave the forest, you have the hardest part behind you but it still continues up to Berdorf.... read more

Bijzonder aan deze beklimming is dat je onder de Perekop-rots doorfietst. Je hebt meer wegen met rotsformatie maar je deze zijn toch net wat indrukwekkender. Qua klim is het goed te doen. In het begin kun je op fijne percentages lekker doortrappen. Dan wordt het zelfs wat vlakker en vanaf de Perekop krijg je even een iets steilere strook. Wanneer je het bos uitrijdt dan heb je het zwaarste achter de rug maar blijft het nog doorlopen tot in Berdorf.

Ridden it twice today in a tour of 30km each.
Very nice climb, not too long, great road surface, fantastic scenery (sometimes you imagine yourself in the real mountains).
There is some traffic due to road works in the area, but not too bad. They are used to cyclists here.

Vandaag tot 2 maal toe gereden in een telkens een toertje van 30km.
Zeer mooie klim, niet al te lang, zalig wegdek, fantastische omgeving (je waant je soms in de echte bergen).
Wel wat verkeer owv werkzaamheden in de buurt, maar valt al bij al mee. Ze zijn hier gewoon aan fietsers.

The climb is not too difficult. But wow, the middle part with all the rocks is beautiful! I was really surprised about the beauty and scenery. At the top it is quite bare and windy. The road surface is just like every road surface in Luxembourg of orgiastic quality.

De klim is niet al te moeilijk. Maar jeetje wat is het middenstuk met al die rotspartijen prachtig! Ik was echt verrast over de pracht en natuurschoon. Bovenop is het vrij kaal en winderig. Het wegdek is net zoals elk wegdek in Luxemburg van orgastisch goede kwaliteit.

Nice climb, beautiful rock formations (including the "Pérékop" rock) with the terrace of Hotel Pérékop as a reward!

Lekker klimmetje, prachtige rotsformaties (o.a. de "Pérékop" rots) met bovenaan het terras van Hotel Pérékop als beloning!
