Nice climb steep but not extreme. You see halfway a fork in the road where a sign says dead end, you have to go left. The climb starts exactly opposite the sign bivouacs.... read more

We stopped in Luxembourg once after coming from the Black Forest, that way we had included Luxembourg's toughest mountain. Fun climb though, steep and a good job! Definitely don't forget to refuel there

Wij zijn in Luxemburg eens gestopt na dat we van het Zwarte Woud kwamen, zo hadden we de zwaarste berg van Luxemburg ook meegenomen. Wel een plezante klim, stijl en een goede baan! Vergeet zeker niet te tanken daar

Fun because it is so steep, but not super special. Maybe it's also because of the 'feeling' (or lack of it) I had. After all, this is the last climb in the last few kilometres of the Jean Nelissen Classic (220km, 4800hm)...

Leuk omdat het zo steil is, maar niet super bijzonder. Misschien kom het ook door het 'gevoel' (of gebrek daaraan) wat ik had. Dit is namelijk de laatste klim in de laatste paar kilometer van de Jean Nelissen Classic (220km, 4800hm)...

Starting in Bivels itself, so when building the route be careful not to start from N10. Then you will have caught the steepest part too.

Te beginnen in Bivels zelf, dus bij het bouwen van de route goed uitkijken dat je niet vanaf N10 start. Dan heb je steilste stuk ook meegepakt.

Mooie klim steil maar niet extreem. Je ziet halverwege een splitsing van de weg waar een bordje staat doodlopend, je moet naar links. De klim begint precies tegenover het bordje bivels.

Very nice climb on a quiet path. You can also just do the approach from Vianden, in terms of altimeters it makes no difference and it is more logical in terms of route. Beautiful views along the way!

Heel mooi klimmetje op een rustig paadje. Je kan ook gewoon de aanloop doen vanuit Vianden, qua hoogtemeters makt het geen verschil en het is logischer qua route. Mooie uitzichten onderweg!

Cycled this one yesterday. Really tough climb. Because it occasionally flattens out a bit you can recover a little. That is why I find this climb better to do than the one to putscheid.

Deze gisteren gefietst. Echt zware beklimming. Doordat het af toe iets afvlakt kun je een klein beetje bijkomen. Daarom vind ik deze eigenlijk beter te doen dan de klim naar putscheid
