A splendid climb in the forest around St Hubert. Belongs to the highlights of this central part of the Ardennes. A little care to turn onto the forest path in a recreation area. An approach with little ascent. Then it becomes viciously steep, turning into a long, gradual climb. It remains too steep to characterise the climb as a runner, though. One of the few roads to cross the forest. Very quiet on a car-free forest path. You can cross through to the forest area between Tenneville and Lavache... read more

So wretched the condition of the road, from slaloming past potholes to grainy asphalt, so heavenly the climbing experience. Yet if you like silence, steepness, and shade. You are more likely to meet a deer here than a human.

Zo erbarmelijk de staat van de weg, van slalommen langs putten tot korzelig asfalt, zo paradijselijk de klimervaring. Toch als je houdt van stilte, steilte, en schaduw. Je treft hier nog eerder een hert dan een mens.

One of the few roads to cross the forest. Very quiet on a car-free forest path. You can cross through to the forest area between Tenneville and Lavacherie (that name).

Een prachtklim in het woud rond St Hubert. Hoort wel bij de hoogtepunten van dit centrale deel van de Ardennen.
Even opletten om het bospad te kunnen inslaan in een recreatie gebied. Een aanloop met weinig stijging. Dan wordt het gemeen steil, om over te gaan in een lange, geleidelijke klim. Wel blijft het te steil om de klim als loper te karakteriseren.
Eén van de weinige wegen om het bos te doorkruisen. Erg rustig over een autovrij bospad. Je kunt doorsteken naar het bosgebied tussen Tenneville en Lavacherie (die naam).
