Deze klim heeft toch wel een strookje dat echt pijn doet.
Mijn GPS gaf 19% aan/ Toch is het een mooie klim op een rustige weg.

One of the most unknown climbs in the region, and yet one of the most difficult. In addition to the irregularity of the profile, which makes the effort difficult to manage, the cobblestones of the steep section are slippery and disjointed. A road bike front wheel can get stuck between two cobbles. I have had to put my foot down because of this. I avoid riding on them in wet weather!

Une des côtes les plus méconnues de la région, et pourtant une des plus difficiles. En plus de l'irrégularité du profil qui rend l'effort délicat à gérer, les pavés de la portion pentue sont glissants et disjoints. Une roue avant de vélo de route peut se retrouver coincée entre deux pavés. Il m'est arrivé de devoir mettre pied à terre à cause de cela. J'évite d'y passer par temps humide !

Nice climb with little traffic. After a few 100 meters there is a very steep cobblestone section! At the top we returned to the road.

Mooie klim met weinig verkeer. Na een paar 100meter zit er een zeer pittige kasseistrook in! Boven aan de steenweg teruggekeerd.
