Start near the Leffe abbey, it goes straight up with a nice turn and a beautiful view on the right a valley where flows the Leffe stream (not the beer) and on the left rocks, like a mountain road not too wide, it's after the quarry that the road is wider and more beautiful, many trucks and cars, a nice and long climb to do with a beautiful landscape over the countryside.... read more

Départ près de l'abbaye Leffe, ça monte direct avec un beau tournant et une très belle vue sur la droite une vallée ou coule le ruisseau Leffe ( pas la bière ) et sur la gauche des rochers, comme une route de montagne pas trop large, c'est après la carrière que la route est plus large et plus belle, beaucoup de camions et voitures, une belle et longue montée à faire avec un beau paysage sur les campagnes

One of the 'longer' climbs around there. It already feels a bit more like a col than the short steep hills you usually encounter. The beautiful landscape in the first part also helps. In the middle, you come to a flatter plateau and then towards the end a bit heavier part where you can make the difference. Definitely a must!

Een van de 'langere' beklimmingen daar in de buurt. Het voelt al wat meer aan als een col dan de korte steile heuvels die je meestal tegenkomt. Het mooie landschap in het eerste deel helpt daar ook aan bij. In het midden kom je even op een wat vlakker plateau om dan tegen het einde terug een wat zwaarder stuk te hebben waar je het verschil kan maken. Zeker een aanrader!

Of all the options to leave Dinant towards the east, this one is the most beautiful and the best to ride. The Montagne de la Croix is a rake, the Cote Saint-Jacques is way too busy and this is a nice route to cycle. You leave Dinant with a hairpin bend and then it almost feels like you're riding through a gorge high up in the mountains. Halfway through, I chose the variant towards Loyers, where you ride up through the grain fields. This is a wide road, but not too busy. In Loyers it gets a little harder, but then you're at the top.

Van de opties om Dinant richting het Oosten te verlaten is dit de mooiste en best te berijden variant. De Montagne de la Croix is harken, de Cote Saint-Jacques is veel te druk en dit is een mooi route, die prima te fietsen is. Je verlaat Dinant met een haarspeldbocht en krijgt daarna bijna het gevoel alsof je hoog in de bergen door een gorges rijdt. Halverwege heb ik de variant richting Loyers gekozen, waar je door de graanvelden vals plat omhoog rijdt. Dit is een brede weg, maar niet al te druk. In Loyers wordt het nog even kort zwaarder, maar daarna ben je boven.
