Beautiful climb where you imagine yourself for a kilometer (about 7％ average) in a dense forest, as if you are in the forest part of the Camerig. The road here is at least as beautiful. From Doische you ride in the forest along a small river on a wide road, false flat down. This is enjoyable. The climb starts from that descent by steering to the right. Don't forget to change down here, because it goes up immediately with 9％. After 100m of climbing, it flattens out to 7％ and is a const... read more

Beautiful climb where you imagine yourself for a kilometer (about 7％ average) in a dense forest, as if you are in the forest part of the Camerig. The road here is at least as beautiful. From Doische you ride in the forest along a small river on a wide road, false flat down. This is enjoyable. The climb starts from that descent by steering to the right. Don't forget to change down here, because it goes up immediately with 9％. After 100m of climbing, it flattens out to 7％ and is a constant runner where you can find your rhythm well. There are not many cars on this road and the road surface is good, also the road is wide enough. After one kilometer climbing you can see the light through the trees - literally - when you leave the forest and cycle between the meadows. Here the gradient immediately goes down to not insignificant percentages. At the end of the road you're in Gimnée where you can turn left for a nice descent towards Mazée (after a long stretch of false flat) or you can turn right towards Doische to get back to the base of this climb! According to me and my cycling buddies this climb is very worthwhile.

Prachtige klim waar je je voor een kilometer (ca. 7％ gemiddeld) in een dichtbegroeid bos waant, alsof je in het bosdeel van de Camerig rijdt. De weg hierheen is minstens even mooi. Vanuit Doische rijd je in het bos langs een riviertje op een brede weg, vals plat omlaag. Dit is genieten. De klim begint vanuit die afdaling door naar rechts te sturen. Vergeet hier niet terug te schakelen, want het gaat direct met 9％ omhoog. Na 100m klimmen vlakt het af naar 7％ en is het een constante loper waar je je ritme goed kunt vinden. Er zijn weinig auto's op deze weg en het wegdek is goed, daarnaast is de weg breed genoeg. Na een kilometer klimmen kun je door de bomen het licht zien - letterlijk - wanneer je het bos verlaat en tussen de weilanden fietst. Hier vlakt het direct ook af naar niet-noemenswaardige percentages. Aan het einde van de weg ben je in Gimnée alwaar je links af kunt slaan voor een fijne afdaling naar Mazée (na een flink stuk vals plat) of je kunt rechtsaf naar Doische om wederom richting de voet van deze klim te gaan! Volgens mij en mijn fietsmaten is deze klim zeer de moeite waard.
