Montquintin can be reached not from four sides but from five! If you choose to climb the Chemin des Morts (the start of which is a few dozen metres from the French border), well, then you opt for the most difficult access (114 pts). The route attacks the hill perpendicularly and the 13 or even 15 ％ are quickly reached. On a good day, the view at the top is extensive but a little spoiled by the nearby pulp mill, the "Cellulose" as they say in the area. And sometimes it stinks of cab... read more

On peut accéder à Montquintin non pas par quatre côtés mais par cinq !
Si l'on choisit de grimper par le chemin des Morts (dont le début est à quelques dizaine de mètres de la frontière française), eh bien, on opte alors pour l'accès le plus difficile (114 pts). La route s'attaque perpendiculairement à la colline et les 13, voire 15 ％, sont rapidement atteints.
Par beau temps, la vue au sommet est très étendue mais un peu gâchée par la présence à proximité de l'usine de pâte à papier, la "Cellulose" comme on dit dans la région. Et parfois, ça pue l'chou ...

The hamlet of Montquintin can be climbed from 4 sides, all with steep sections up to 20％. Beautiful descents and views. Highly recommended for enthusiasts. There is very little traffic and cyclists in this area, but still some nice climbs in Belgium, but also across the border in France.

Het gehucht Montquintin is vanaf 4 kanten te beklimmen, allemaal met steile stroken tot aan 20％. Mooi afdalingen en vergezichten. Een aanrader voor liefhebbers. Sowieso mooi fietsen in deze streek, heel weinig verkeer en fietsers en toch mooie klimmetjes in België, maar ook over de grens in Frankrijk.
