Varied climb that slowly builds up from the valley and gets more and more punch along the way. A narrower turn is followed by a short but tough section in double digits, after which the slope again continues a bit milder towards the summit.... read more

Varied climb that slowly builds up from the valley and gets more and more punch along the way. A narrower turn is followed by a short but tough section in double digits, after which the slope again continues a bit milder towards the summit.

Afwisselende klim die rustig opbouwt vanuit het dal en onderweg steeds wat meer pit krijgt. Na een smallere afslag volgt een kort maar stevig stuk in dubbele cijfers, waarna de helling opnieuw wat milder verderloopt richting de top.

Coming from the direction of Crawhez, the climb starts at the point where the Berwinne flows under the road. The gradient slowly increases towards the hamlet of La Clouse. The first steeper part is near the primary school. At the school you turn right onto Birven. It then flattens out until the next junction. At the junction, keep left and the gradient is in double digits. Fortunately this is only a short stretch and then it flattens out to the junction with Rue du Mémorial Americain.

Komende uit de richting van Crawhez begint de klim op het punt waar de Berwinne onder de weg doorstroomt. Richting het buurtschap La Clouse loopt het stijgingspercentage langzaam op. Het eerste steilere stuk ligt thv de basisschool. ter hoogte van de school draai je rechtsaf Birven op. Tot de volgende splitsing vlakt het dan wast af. Op de splitsing hou je links aan en ga je vwb het stijgingspercentage gelijk de dubbele cijfers in. Gelukkig is dit maar een kort stukje en vlakt het vervolgens tot aan de splitsing met de Rue du Mémorial Americain af.

From the beautiful valley of the Berwinne up. First on a good road that winds up mainly along houses. After the school you turn sharply right into a small road with moderate asphalt. Briefly uphill, then flat and then follows a fairly steep section after which the slope cheerfully continues until just before the end. Beautiful views to the right and back and because of the changing conditions a nice climb.

Vanuit het mooie dal van de Berwinne omhoog. Eerst over een goede weg die voornamelijk langs huizen omhoog slingert. Na de school ga je scherp rechtsaf een klein weggetje met matig asfalt in. Even omhoog, dan vlak en dan volgt een behoorlijk steil stukje waarna de helling nog vrolijk doorgaat tot vlak voor het eind. Fraaie uitzichten naar rechts en naar achteren en vanwege de wisselende omstandigheden een leuke klim.
