I found this a pleasant one to cycle because I could nicely pedal my own rhythm everywhere. Good tarmac, little traffic and beautiful scenery. In Xhoris, it gets a little steeper for a while to make sure you are happy to be at the top.... read more

Ik vond dit een aangename om te fietsen om dat ik overal mooi mijn eigen ritme kon trappen. Goed asfalt, weinig verkeer en mooie omgeving. In Xhoris wordt het heel even wat steiler om er toch voor te zorgen dat je blij bent om boven te zijn.

Nice climb of over 5 kilometres from Comblain-la-Tour to Xhoris. Basically a nice run with only between km 4 and 4½ you have to pedal a bit due to the slightly higher gradient.

Mooie klim van ruim 5 kilometer vanuit Comblain-la-Tour naar Xhoris. In principe een lekkere loper waarbij je alleen tussen km 4 en 4½ wat door moet trappen ivm het iets hogere stijgingspercentage.

Beautiful climb with % which varies and a hairpin to believe that we are in the Alps:) a coast often borrowed on hikes because in a beautiful little village and quiet.

Belle montée avec des % qui varie et une épingle pour croire que nous sommes dans les alpes :) une côte souvent emprunté sur les randonnées car dans un beau petit village et au calme
