I confirm what fellow cyclists write here: the road surface is pretty bad (2024). Uphill you lave between the pits, but if you descend here you have to be very careful, as the road goes through the forest and is thus in the shade and visibility is not good. But as a climb it is a good tempo climb: always brisk and steady uphill without really very steep sections. Perfect training climb, then!... read more

Ik bevestig wat de collega-fietsers hier schrijven: het wegdek is vrij slecht (2024). Bergop laveer je tussen de putten, maar als je hier afdaalt moet je goed opletten, temeer de weg door het bos gaat en dus in de schaduw ligt en zichtbaarheid dus niet best is. Maar als klim is het een goede tempoklim: altijd flink en gelijkmatig bergop zonder écht erg steile stukken. Perfecte trainingsklim, dus. Opgelet, als je in het dorp Bourseigne Neuve komt vlakt het af en denk je misschien dat je boven bent. Maar de klim loopt nog anderhalve km het dorp uit!

Slope that combines very well with the Felenne, and is also quite similar, both in terms of profile and desolation. Notwithstanding the worse road surface (narrower track), I found this one more pleasant. I don't think I saw another human being on that approximately 5km.

Helling die zich prima laat combineren met de Felenne, en ook vrij vergelijkbaar is, zowel qua profiel als qua verlatenheid. Niettegenstaande het wegdek slechter is (smaller baantje), vond ik deze aangenamer. Ik denk niet dat ik op die circa 5km een andere mens gezien heb.

Through a narrow road you come to the river Houille, a picturesque place. From there the road climbs constantly, without becoming really steep. The most difficult part lies just before the village of Bourseigne-Neuve. After that, the road flattens out, but the wind may play a role. Once at the top, you have the idea of being at the end of the world, in the border area between Belgium and France, where nothing seems to be happening. For those who like to be alone from the hustle and bustle of everyday life a perfect place.

Via een smal weggetje kom je bij het riviertje de Houille uit, een schilderachtig plekje. De weg loopt vanaf daar constant omhoog, zonder echt steil te worden. Het lastigste stuk ligt vlak voor het dorpje Bourseigne-Neuve. Daarna vlakt het af, maar kan eventueel de wind een rol gaan spelen. Eenmaal boven heb je toch het idee enigszins aan het einde van de wereld te zijn, zo in het grensgebied tussen België en Frankrijk, waar zich echt niks lijkt af te spelen. Voor wie graag even alleen is uit de drukte van het dagelijks leven een perfecte plek.

The first part is a fairly small track. Road surface is not great but it is not really disturbing uphill.
The climb is not too steep so you can ride at a good pace.
Once Bourseigne passed, it almost completely flattens out.

Het eerste stuk is een vrij klein baantje. Wegdek is niet super maar echt storend is dat bergop niet.
Klim is niet te stijl waardoor je een goed tempo kan rijden.
Eenmaal Bourseigne voorbij vlakt het quasi volledig af.
