The climb is short but very steep, and you can see a wall in the distance. Given that it's quite short, you won't have much trouble getting over it. The last bend is nice but be careful, I nearly fell when I tried to turn right at the stop sign because of the small kerb.... read more

Montée courte mais très pentue, on aperçoit une mur de loin. Vu que c'est assez court, vous n'aurez pas tant de mal à la passer. Le dernier virage est sympa mais faites attention, j'ai failli tomber en voulant tourner à droite au stop car petite bordure.

On the way there you already have a good look at the hills you will be riding against. Steep percentages in the middle part which is rather exceptional for the region. At the end of the climb you can take a sharp right turn and continue to the real top of Merckeghem-mountain at the water tower.

Op weg erheen kijk je al even naar de heuvelrug waar je tegenop zult rijden. Steile percentages in het middendeel wat eerder uitzonderlijk is voor de streek. Op het einde van de klim kan je de bocht haaks rechts nemen en verder doortrekken tot de echte top van Merckeghem-berg aan de watertoren.
