Is een mooie lopende klim. Niet al te steil en ideaal als tussendoortje of opwarmer voor de andere bergen in de buurt.

Rather climb for the Ardennes - reminds me a bit of the Ancienne Barrière. Although this one is slightly shorter and has a steeper section in it for a while where you can make up the difference with your friends. Quiet, wooded and good road surface - what more do you need while cycling?

Eerder klim voor de Ardennen - doet me wat denken aan de Ancienne Barrière. Al is deze iets korter en zit er even een steiler stuk in waarin je het verschil kan maken met je vrienden. Rustig, bosrijk en goed wegdek - wat moet je meer hebben tijdens het fietsen?

Passage climb. Not particularly. Not tough. You either have to cross it or you don't. But in the second case, you won't go looking for m either.
Just a road.

Passage klim. Niet bijzonder. Niet zwaar. Je moet erover of je moet er niet over. Maar in het tweede geval zal je m ook niet gaan opzoeken.

Easy climb, not very exciting but nothing wrong either. This side is nicer than the other side though because you have more nature and less buildings here. Road surface is fine.

Gemakkelijke beklimming, niet heel spannend maar ook niks verkeerd. Deze kant is wel leuker dan de andere kant omdat je hier meer natuur en minder bebouwing hebt. Wegdek is prima.
