In the beginning equally steep. After you pass the castle, which can sometimes be quite crowded, you climb sheltered by the forest on a moderate to poor road surface. When it opens up again it gets steeper for a while. The last straight line is through open countryside. You arrive at the top on a busy road and can descend to Dinant.... read more

In het begin even steil. Nadat je het kasteel gepasseerd bent, dat soms vrij druk kan zijn, klim je beschut door het bos over een matig tot slecht wegdek. Wanneer het terug opentrekt wordt het even terug steiler. De laatste rechte lijn is door het open landschap. Je komt boven aan aan drukke weg en kan daar afdalen naar Dinant.

This beautiful Ardennes climb starts after turning right down the mainly descending road to the Lesse river from Celles.
Just steep uphill, past the parking and entrance of one of Belgium's most beautiful medieval castles, into the forest.
After a short descent and right turn, the route continues on long straight road less ascending on the open plateau with arable land to the highest point.
Wide views.

Deze mooie Ardennenklim start na het rechts afdraaien van de voornamelijk dalende weg naar de Lesse rivier vanuit Celles.
Even steil omhoog, langs de parking en ingang van één van de mooiste middeleeuwse kastelen van België, het bos in.
Na een korte afdaling en rechtse afslag gaat de route op lange rechte weg minder klimmend door op het open plateau met akkerbouw tot het hoogste punt.
Weids uitzicht.

Nice climb in a very beautiful setting, with a beautiful view of the superb Vêves castle at the foot. The rest of the route is on a wooded road which is unfortunately in a catastrophic state in places (although this is especially true on the descent)

Jolie montée dans un très beau cadre, avec au pied une belle perspective sur le superbe château de Vêves. La suite se déroule sur une route boisée qui malheureusement est dans un état par endroits catastrophique (même si c'est surtout vrai lors de la descente)
