This is the most northerly of the Ardennes, the tip that passes into the Condroz/Famenne and so it has the best of both regions.

Excellent tarmac, beautiful unspoilt countryside alternating between hills and heathland, and up to the top steep. This is the most northerly of the Ardennes, the tip that passes into the Condroz/Famenne and so it has the best of both regions. There is no traffic nearby and once you cross the iron ledge you know you are already half way through the tough part. After that, it's just a matter of standing on the pedals, but above all enjoying yourself as the percentages drop. At the top, I went to the right to ride via the N899 so that I could descend the equally beautiful Chemin du Bois to Resteigne. Attention, the map at the top is not correct anymore, I think they have recently re-designed it: if you turn right from Les Alwins, you don't end up perpendicular to the N899 anymore, but you first have to make a turn to the left and to the right.
Uitstekend asfalt, prachtige ongerepte natuur die zich afwisselt van boven tot struiken en heide, en tot op de kop aan toe nog eens lekker stijl. Dit zijn de meest noordelijke Ardennen, het puntje dat overgaat tot in de Condroz/Famenne en het heeft dus het beste van beide streken. Er is geen verkeer in de buurt en eens je over de ijzeren richel rijdt weet je dat je al in de helft van het zware stuk bent. Daarna is het nog even op de trappers staan, maar vooral genieten als de percenten afzwakken. Boven ging ik naar rechts om even via de N899 te rijden zodat ik de even mooie Chemin du Bois kon afdalen tot in Resteigne. Let op, de kaart klopt daar bovenaan niet meer, ze hebben dat volgens mij recent heraangelegd: als je vanop Les Alwins rechts afdraait kom je niet meer loodrecht op de N899 uit, maar maak je eerst nog een bocht naar links en rechts.
