Cette côte permet de se hisser en 2 km sur le flanc de la vallée de la Haute Meurthe. Il y a quelques palliers entre des sections très raides. La route est en bon état. Aucun trafic. Une fois à Boslimpré, on peut rejoindre le mémorial 500 m plus loin qui offre une vue imprenable sur les Vosges.

The Côte de Boslimpré is a steep climb which is not inferior to the Ardennes climbs like the Sür Steppes, the Stockeu or the Thier de Coo. The climb is quite long and steep. The steepness is very irregular so sometimes you have the feeling of falling backwards and sometimes you have the feeling that you can handle it. Save some energy for the end, because there are still two steep stairs that want to knock you out.
The road surface is reasonable, there is no traffic. The only thing the climb has against it is that it ends on a piece of gravel. That is only 250 meters, and then you can descend on a good tarmac road.
If you want to deflate: do this!

De Côte de Boslimpré is een hevig steil ding die niet onderdoet voor heftige Ardennenklimmen als de Sür Steppes, de Stockeu of de Thier de Coo. De klim is vrij lang en goed steil. Het steile is erg onregelmatig waardoor je soms het gevoel hebt achterover te vallen en soms het gevoel dat het wel weer gaat. Spaar wat energie voor het einde, want daar komen nog twee hevige trapjes die je knock-out willen slaan.
Het wegdek is redelijk, verkeer kom je niet tegen. Het enige dat de klim tegen zich heeft is dat hij eindigt op een stuk gravel. Dat is maar 250 meter, en daarna kan je afdalen op een goede asfaltweg.
Als je even goed leeg wil lopen: doen deze!
