The road surface is not too bad. Very nice irregular climb along winding narrow lanes before seeing off into the woods one last time. This is the toughest side of Vault Mountain I've already done.... read more

The road surface is not too bad. Very nice irregular climb along winding narrow lanes before seeing off into the woods one last time. This is the toughest side of Vault Mountain I've already done.

Het wegdek valt reuze mee. Heel leuke onregelmatige klim langs kronkelende smalle baantjes om daarna nog een laatste keer af te zien in het bos. Dit is de lastigste kant van de kluisberg die ik al gedaan heb.

Fine way to climb Kluisberg. First part consists of an alternation of steep and less steep sections. Couple of nasty kinks 12 to 14％. Second part is then classic through the forest. I actually like that less. Lots of walkers and annoying gutters that cross the road. Better give me the Trieu a bit further on then!

Fijne manier om de Kluisberg te beklimmen. Eerste deel bestaat uit een afwisseling van steile en minder steile stukken. Paar nijdige knikjes 12 à 14％. Tweede deel is dan klassiek door het bos. Dat vind ik eigenlijk minder fijn. Veel wandelaars en vervelende gootjes die de weg dwarsen. Geef mij dan liever de Trieu wat verderop!

Hardest climb of the Kluisberg - moderate road surface, but that doesn't bother when riding up. After the first steep section you think the worst is behind you, but behind a 90° bend follows the steepest part. Then you come to the well-known Kluisberg route and you do have to ride all the way up (also not to be underestimated).

Lastigste beklimming van de Kluisberg - matig wegdek, maar dat deert niet bij het naar boven rijden. Na een eerste steile stuk denk je dat het ergste achter de rug is, maar achter een 90° bocht volgt het steilste stuk. Daarna kom je op de gekende route van de Kluisberg en moet je wel nog helemaal naar boven (ook niet te onderschatten).

Maybe the least known climb of the Kluisberg (on the Walloon side called Mont-de-l'Enclus) and probably the most beautiful, a narrow steep winding road with beautiful views on the surroundings. Unfortunately the road surface is not in the best condition, nevertheless it is perfectly doable with a racing bike.

Misschien wel de minst gekende klimzijde van de Kluisberg (aan de Waalse zijde genaamd Mont-de-l'Enclus) en nochtans waarschijnlijk zowat de mooiste, een smal steil kronkelwegje met prachtige uitzichten op de omgeving. Jammer genoeg is het wegdek niet in de allerbeste staat, niettegenstaande dit is het perfect te doen met een koersfiets.
