Irregular and bad road surface. At the end, it gets tough. Nice views though! To get back into the valley, best to head towards Soiron (unless by gravel bike). Good combo to make with Voie Colas or the Thier d'Hansez (both of which are more fun).... read more

Onregelmatig en slecht wegdek. Op het einde wordt het zwaar. Mooi uitzicht wel! Om terug in de vallei te geraken best richting Soiron gaan (tenzij met de gravelbike). Goeie combo te maken met Voie Colas of de Thier d'Hansez (die allebei leuker zijn).

The Bois d'Olne is a mean thing that I didn't like running. Aesthetically very nice, but a wrecker. The road surface is very bad with many pits and loose stones. Watch out when you descend this one.

De Bois d’Olne is een gemeen ding die ik niet lekker vond lopen. Esthetisch erg mooi, maar een sloper. Het wegdek is erg slecht met veel putten en losse stenen. Uitkijken als je deze afdaalt.

It actually starts after 2 km when you get off the main road.

Hij begint eigenlijk pas na 2 km als je van de doorgaande weg af gaat.
