Fine cycle path. If you want to make few altitude metres, for whatever reason, this is a good one. The cycle path is free flowing, and as you progress you have nice views. The whole ravel takes you roughly from Liège to the Drielandenpunt. Or vice versa. It can be very busy in summer. In winter or after a rainstorm, the path looks wet as it is under trees.

Prima fietspad. Wie weinig hoogtemeters wil maken, om wat voor reden dan ook heeft hier een goede aan. Het fietspad is vrijliggend, en naarmate je vordert heb je mooie uitzichten. De gehele ravel brengt je grofweg van Luik tot het Drielandenpunt. Of vice versa. Het kan heel druk zijn in de zomer. In de winter of na een regenbui ligt het pad er nat bij, omdat het onder de bomen ligt.

Climb consisting mainly of false flat but because of its length you still pack quite a few altimeters... and you do feel them a bit. The whole climb is on a completely separate cycle path (section of old railway track) with perfect tarmac. Several times you cross a road (well-marked) where you have to give way. The first part you ride through a kind of green tunnel, after which you regularly have beautiful views. The cycle path is quite wide but can be busy on nice days.

Klim die vooral uit vals plat bestaat maar vanwege de lengte pak je toch best wat hoogtemeters mee... en die voel je toch wel een beetje. De hele klim loopt over een geheel vrijliggend fietspad (traject oude spoorweg) met perfect asfalt. Je kruist enkele keren een weg (goed aangegeven) waar je voorrang moet verlenen. Het eerste stuk rijd je door een soort groene tunnel, daarna heb je regelmatig mooie uitzichten en vanaf de fietsbrug in Thimister een leuk doorkijkje naar het centrum. Het fietspad is best breed maar kan op mooie dagen wel druk zijn.
