A climb I love. Starts not too steep then climbs up between the trees in steps. This stretch is tricky but not too bad either as it goes in steps. You also cycle between the trees which certainly helps in summer. The scenery is super, the road surface is acceptable.... read more

Not too long, not too steep, you can still ride up somewhat at pace. Some nasty bits, but less than, say, the Trieu or the Vault.

Niet te lang, niet te steil, kan je nog enigszins op tempo naar boven rijden. Paar nijdige stukjes, maar minder dan bijvoorbeeld de Trieu of de Kluis.

Nice climb that takes me through the forest, good road surface.

Leuke klim die mij door het bos gaat, goed wegdek.

A climb that may come as a surprise! The first part can be exposed to the wind, so you need to keep your pedal to the metal for the second part in the woods, which is much steeper...

Montée qui peut surprendre! La première partie peut être exposée au vent , il faut donc en garder sous la pédale pour la saconde partie dans le bois qui est bien plus raide...

Nice climb - second part well steep in the forest, you have to push hard there! First flatter part is in bad shape though

Leuke klim - tweede gedeelte goed steil in het bos, daar moet je hevig doortrekken! Eerste vlakkere gedeelte is wel in slechte staat

Een klim waar ik van hou. Begint niet te steil om dan tussen de bomen in trapjes naar boven te klimmen. Dit stuk is lastig maar ook niet te erg gezien het in trapjes gaat. Je fietst ook tussen de bomen wat zeker in de zomer helpt. De omgeving is super, het wegdek is aanvaardbaar.

A climb that is somewhat hidden. Very quiet, poor road surface until the steeper bit through the forest, then it's really okay. At the top you arrive at the Ronde van Vlaanderenstraat. The climb is parallel to the Trieu and very similar in profile.

Een klim die wat verborgen zit. Heel rustig, slecht wegdek tot het steilere stukje door het bos, dan is het echt wel in orde. Boven kom je aan de Ronde van Vlaanderenstraat uit. De klim ligt parallel aan de Trieu en is qua profiel heel gelijkaardig.

Cool climb with good asphalt. I've been up this one a few times, good tarmac, max 1 car, occasional cyclist. The climb is very irregular, but doable, never too steep.

Toffe klim met goed asfalt. Ik ben deze al enkele keren opgereden, goed asfalt, max 1 auto, af en toe een fietser. De klim is heel onregelmatig, maar wel goed te doen, nooit te steil.

A typical climb like there are many on the south side of the ridge: a gentle start with the slope's centre of gravity at the end in the forest. Contrary to the parallel Knokteberg that gradually gets steeper and steeper, here you can already see the bend where it gets steeper. This makes it a lot easier to classify. Nice climb!

Een typische beklimming zoals er wel meer zijn aan de zuidkant van de heuvelrug: een gezapig begin met het zwaartepunt van de helling op het einde in het bos. In tegenstelling tot de parallel lopende Knokteberg die geleidelijk steiler en steiler wordt, zie je hier de knik waar het steiler wordt al van ver liggen. Dit maakt het een pak gemakkelijker om in te delen. Leuke klim!

This climb indeed lies right on the Belgian linguistic border, between the municipalities Mont-de-l'Enclus (Russeignies) in Wallonia and Ronse in Flanders. The name of the street actually sounds very strange in French: "Rue du Lait battu" !

Deze klim ligt inderdaad pal op de Belgische taalgrens, tussen de gemeenten Mont-de-l'Enclus (deelgemeente Russeignies) in Wallonië en Ronse in Vlaanderen. De naam van de straat klinkt eigenlijk erg vreemd in het Frans: "Rue du Lait battu" !
