Nice climb with some hairpin bends, first through a forest, later across open fields. The first part is quite difficult, but it gets easier with time.... read more

Nice climb with some hairpin bends, first through a forest, later across open fields. The first part is quite difficult, but it gets easier with time.

Schöner Anstieg mit einigen Haarnadelkurven zunächst durch einen Wald, später über freies Feld. Zudem stark wechselnde Prozente, im ersten Teil ziemlich schwer, es wird aber mit der Zeit leichter.

First stretch with hairpin bends through the forest very nice. Didn't encounter anything or anyone

Eerste stuk met haarspeldbochten door het bos is heel mooi. Niets of niemand tegengekomen

Bjoetie. If, like me, you like narrow hairpin roads through the box at least. Buffalo though...

Bjoetie. Als je net als ik van smalle haarspeldweggetjes door het box houdt tenminste. Wel buffelen...

Sloper, beginning is very steep in the village, then the flat pieces hope for no west wind, otherwise it is much heavier. Open pieces are nice, but you ride on a flat plateau. Make the difference in the beginning of the climb!

Sloper, begin is erg steil in het dorp, daarna de vlakken stukken hopen op geen westen wind, want anders is ie veel zwaarder. Open stukken zijn mooi, maar je rijdt op een vlak plateau. Verschil maken in het begin van de klim!

Nice climb that is often ridden as a descent (Jean Nelissen Classic). Road surface is pretty good, under the trees it can be a bit dirty. Also here the surroundings are beautiful!

Mooie klim die vaak als afdaling wordt gereden (Jean Nelissen Classic). Wegdek is behoorlijk goed, onder de bomen kan het wat vuil zijn. Ook hier is de omgeving prachtig!

Nice climb! Smaller road than most climbs, fairly dense forest and especially the first two kilometers seriously difficult, Strava gives an average of 9%. Then a long spur.

Mooie klim! Smallere weg dan meeste beklimmingen, redelijk dicht bos en zeker eerste twee kilometer serieus lastig, Strava geeft gemiddeld 9%. Daarna lange uitloper.

My grandfather lives in Luxembourg and I discovered this climb during a holiday there. It's a real gem and the reason why I love cycling and Luxembourg!

Mijn opa woont in Luxemburg en deze klim heb ik ontdekt tijdens een vakantie daar. Het is gewoon een pareltje en ligt mee aan de basis van mijn liefde voor het wielrennen én Luxemburg!
