Beautiful climb in this small village, the ideal is to come from Engis not to stay long on the national, but when you are in this climb the landscape changes directly and the % varies all the way with a max in a hairpin. video of the coast https://youtu.be/fWUOWTa_RC8... read more

Belle montée dans ce petit village , l'idéal est de venir de Engis pour ne pas rester longtemps sur la national , mais quand vous êtes dans cette montée le paysage change directement et les % varie tout le long avec un max dans une épingle.

I first drove down it to turn around and really enjoy the climb, fantastic thing this ! It is located in nature between two flanks and the hairpins give you a unique experience among the green. Once past the cemetery, the beauty is gone and be careful not to turn onto the main N-road at the top, where they continue well and you can actually parallel left with the road. A must-do !

Ik ben hem eerst afgereden om dan rond te draaien en echt te genieten van de klim, fantastisch ding dit ! Hij ligt in de natuur tussen twee flanken in en de haarspeldbochten geven je zo tussen het groen een unieke ervaring. Eens het kerkhof voorbij zit het mooie er wel op en pas vooral op dat je bovenaan niet de grote N-weg oprijdt, daar trekken ze goed door en eigenlijk kan je parallel wel links met de weg meerijden. Een must-do !

As already said not pleasant to drive here. Then suddenly a small village to the right of the main road and there, in a narrow opening to the right, you can find this climb. On the map you'd think that this is a slightly bigger road, but nothing is further from the truth. After the cemetery on the left, the wooded area stops and there is not so much more to it. But definitely recommended only for that first narrow and green piece!

Zoals reeds gezegd niet aangenaam om naar hier te rijden. Dan plots een minidorpje rechts van de grote baan en daar in een smalle opening aan de rechterzijde kan je deze klim vinden. Op de kaart zou je denken dat je hier over een iets grotere weg rijdt maar niks is minder waar. Na het kerkhof aan de linkerkant stopt het beboste gedeelte en is er toch niet zo heel veel meer aan. Maar zeker een aanrader enkel voor dat eerste smalle en groene stuk!

Really enjoyed this climb. Narrow - Steep - Calm.
Only way to get there is indeed along the busy road parallel to the Meuse...

Echt genoten van deze klim. Smal - Stijl - Rustig.
Enkel er geraken is inderdaad langs de drukke baan parallel met de Maas...

Very nice climb. It's a tough stretch to get there though. Along the Meuse river in that region, it's not very bike friendly. But what a great climb! Nice percentages, good tarmac, hairpins, green. Too bad it is so short. The last part after leaving the forest is not a nice part either.

Hele mooie klim. Het is wel een rotstuk om er te geraken. Langs de Maas in die regio is het niet zo fietsvriendelijk. Maar wat een heerlijke klim! Leuke percentages, goed asfalt, haarspeldbochten, groen. Jammer dat hij zo kort is. Het laatste stukje als je uit het bos bent is ook geen leuk stuk meer.
