The first part up to the main road is sometimes really bad. The second part however is really worthwhile. You really get an Ardennes feeling here, with beautiful views and ditto forest. The track on top of the ridge to the left through the forest is worth taking. Lovely bulbs to 's Gravenbrakel.... read more

Bad start over a narrow and battered road, but once at the top it turns into a nicer and steeper climb with fine views, making it still worthwhile.

Slecht begin over een smalle en gehavende weg, maar eenmaal boven verandert het in een mooiere en steilere klim met fraai uitzicht, waardoor het toch de moeite blijft.

The first part is on horrible road condition, only a narrow strip , the rest is sunken probably because of tractors. You then turn right and the roads becomes perfect, a bit steeper too. i would do it for the completion, but would prefer the other variant

I have very mixed feelings about this climb. The foot of the climb'that is, right to the end of the descent or the flat area'is atrocious, horrible, on the verge of being passable. You can't call them holes, but craters - go and have a look and you'll understand. I had to put my foot down twice (in wet weather I didn't want to slip, but in dry weather I might). I'm done with this atrocity now for the 2nd part. I was pleasantly surprised by the view when I got back to a road with VERY good tarmac HERE. The view is beautiful and the climb is steep. In view of what I've said, you'll understand that I'm only giving it one star because the first part spoils everything and doesn't make you want to do the climb again from this side but from another. All the more so as the local authority is not prepared to rebuild the road as it is a backwater with three farms.

Hyper mais alors là hyper mitigé sur cette montée. Le pied c'est à dire jusqu'à la fin de la descente ou replat est atroce, horrible, à la limite du praticable. On ne peut pas parler de trous mais de cratères aller voir et vous me comprendrez. J'ai dû mettre pied à terre deux fois ( par temps humide donc je n'avais pas envie de glisser mais par temps sec peut-être que ça passe ) J'en ai fini pour cette atrocité maintenant la 2e partie. J'ai été agréablement surpris par la vue au moment de revenir sur une route avec ICI un TRES bon tarmac. La vue est belle et l'ascension monte fort. Au vu de ce que j'ai dit vous comprendrez que je mets qu'une seule étoile car la première partie gâche tout et ne donne pas envie de refaire l'ascension par ce côté mais par un autre. D'autant que la commune n'est pas prête de refaire la route puisque c'est un trou paumer de trois fermes.

Het eerste deel tot aan de grote baan ligt er soms echt slecht bij. Het tweede deel is wel zeer de moeite. Je krijgt hier zowaar een Ardennengevoel, met prachtige uitzichten en ditto bos. De baan boven op de kam naar links door het bos is de moeite om te nemen. Heerlijk bollen tot 's Gravenbrakel.
