Ravel so it's not very complicated, so the road is good and there's only traffic on the side road, but a hill like that won't tire you out.... read more

Ravel so it's not very complicated, so the road is good and there's only traffic on the side road, but a hill like that won't tire you out.

Ravel donc pas très compliqué donc la route est bonne est il n'y a que de la circulation sur la route à côté mais en soit une côte comme ça ne vous fatiguera pas

Coming from the direction of Völkerich, the climb starts even before entering Blieberg/Plombières. After the church on the right of the road, continue for a bit and take the 1st road left onto Windt. The road rises a bit and in the bend you turn right onto the Ravel and ride nice and easy towards Hombourg. At some point, you ride on the cycle lane along the Blieberg/Plombières- Hombourg v.v. main road and eventually have to cross to continue uphill to Hombourg. At the junction at pub Grain d'Orge, you are at the summit. The start and end of the climb are a bit steeper but the rest is mostly false flat.

Komende uit de richting van Völkerich begint de klim al voor het binnenrijden van Blieberg/Plombières. Na de kerk rechts van de weg rij je een stukje door en ga je de 1e weg linksaf Windt op. De weg loopt wat op en in de bocht ga je rechtsaf de Ravel op en rij je lekker rustig richting Hombourg. Op enig moment rij je op de fietsstrook langs de doorgaande weg Blieberg/Plombières- Hombourg v.v. en moet je uiteindelijk oversteken om verder omhoog te gaan naar Hombourg. Op de kruising bij pub Grain d'Orge ben je op de top. Het begin en einde van de klim zijn wat steiler maar voor de rest is het vooral vals plat.

From the valley of La Guelle, it goes up the main road for a while. After turning left (at the shop), the road descends briefly and then goes up again nicely. Also at the cycle path when you turn right, it descends again (now quite steeply) and then follows a long continuous ascent until you reach the main road again. You first follow this over the cycle path on the left, but eventually you have to cross over and climb further along the road until you reach Hombourg where there is a clear highest point. A much more attractive trail than along the main road and the bike path has excellent tarmac and sometimes offers nice views.

Vanaf het dal van La Guelle loopt het even lekker omhoog via de hoofdweg. Na links te zijn geslagen (bij het winkeltje) daalt de weg even en gaat dan weer leuk stijgen. Ook bij het fietspad als je rechtsaf bent geslagen daalt het weer (nu flink) en daarna volgt een lange doorlopende stijging tot je weer langs de hoofdweg komt. Deze volg je eerst over het fietspad aan de linkerkant maar uiteindelijk moet je oversteken en via de weg verder stijgen tot in Hombourg waar een duidelijk hoogste punt is. Een stuk aantrekkelijker parcours dan langs de hoofdweg en het fietspad heeft uitstekend asfalt en biedt soms aardig uitzicht.
