From the little bridge over the Soor, which is in a particularly beautiful valley here, you can already see the first part of the climb going up nicely.

From the main road at Hestreux, descend to the Soor, catch this climb and then return to the main road via the other climb. You'll quickly pick up two nice climbs and can enjoy the scenery.
Mooie klim waarbij het asfalt wel doodloopt (gaat over in een goede gravelweg, ik kwam twee wielrenners tegen dus blijkbaar vonden die het ook acceptabel). Vanaf het bruggetje over de Soor, die hier in een bijzonder fraai dal ligt, zie je het eerste stuk van de klim al lekker omhoog lopen. In de slinger nemen de percentages nog even flink toe waarna de helling langzaam afloopt. Ook in de klim word je omringd door een mooie omgeving en voor zo'n achterafweggetje is het asfalt echt prima in orde.
Vanaf de hoofdweg bij Hestreux afdalen naar de Soor, deze klim pakken en dan weer terug naar de hoofdweg via de andere klim. Pik je snel toch weer twee leuke klimmetjes mee en kan je even mooi van de omgeving genieten.
