A very pleasant climb! The access along an old canal with old barges is very picturesque. The start itself is steep and wooded, but the rest is open countryside through fields with very clear views. I did it in fine dry weather, which must be important. When it's wet and overcast, the impression must be quite different.... read more

A very pleasant climb! The access along an old canal with old barges is very picturesque. The start itself is steep and wooded, but the rest is open countryside through fields with very clear views. I did it in fine dry weather, which must be important. When it's wet and overcast, the impression must be quite different.

Montée très agréable ! L'accès le long d'un vieux canal avec de vieilles péniches est très pittoresque, Le début proprement dit est pentu et boisé, le reste est en paysage découvert à travers champs et avec une vue très dégagée. Je l'ai effectuée par temps beau sec, ce qui doit avoir son importance. Par temps humide et couvert, l'impression doit être en effet toute autre.

It's a short climb that you have to look for or know how to find. The start is on a small, steep, slippery track where I was caught out 3 times when I climbed it. The rest is in muddy fields and on roads with little interest.

Petite montée qu'il faut chercher ou connaître pour trouver. Le début se fait sur un petit chemin pentu et glissant ou je me suis fait surprendre les 3x où je l'ai montée. La suite se fait dans les champs avec de la boue et sur des routes avec peu d'intérêts.

Very nice climb that starts with a steep part in a hollow road. After that there is a spur through the fields with a view on the slope.

Heel mooie klim die begint met een stijl stuk in een holle weg. Hierna is er een uitloper door de velden met zicht op het hellend vlak.
