Nice, quiet and not too long climb. The road surface is okay, but not in very good condition.

Surprisingly fun climb through a more agricultural part of the Ardennes. Pretty uneven in character, tarmac reasonable with some potholes here and there.

From the old bridge in Polleur, a one-way road leads straight up through a hollow road. At the T-junction, turn right - a bit more relaxed - and shortly afterwards turn right again, a steep downhill that eventually rejoins the other road. Then, with a few sharp bends, it goes a lot quieter until it reaches the clear summit near the houses. Green surroundings and nice views into the valley.
