Very nice climb in the heart of the city. Coming from Alee Pierre de Mansfeld, you first cross a residential area. There is a military cemetery on the right. Unfortunately, there have recently been some bumps here to calm the traffic. Then follows a section of pavé through the portal at the Malakoff Tower. A very beautiful section. The pavé is followed by an ascent with a moderate gradient and good tarmac. The view is outstanding. Be careful, after the last hairpin bend you drive through the Rue du Fort Thüngen (one-way street) against the direction of travel and it is not particularly wide. Watch out for oncoming traffic. The climb ends at the Museum of Modern Art (MUDAM) with an excellent view. The traffic density is low.

Very nice climb on a quiet road. In the middle, there is a cobbled section.
