A small road in between which feels like a Belgian wall. Not advisable in the descent, but fun to climb. This wall is sometimes included in local cycling tours and invariably provides surprises, because many people underestimate this slope. Nice to take if you have a round here out.... read more

Short and steep little shortcut. Lower traffic than the main road, and more fun!

Oh yes, that's it! It's a funny wall and if you whip it hard, you'll be out of breath. That's nice. The little town is very pretty. A fountain awaits you 50 metres ahead on the left.

Ah oui, c’est bien ça ! Il est bien marrant ce mur et si l’on cravache fort, on arrive bien essoufflé. Sympa. La petite bourgade est toute mignonne. Une fontaine vous attend à 50 mètres à gauche.

Een klein tussendoorweggetje die als een Belgische muur aanvoelt. Af te raden in de afdaling erg leuk om op te klimmen. Deze muur wordt wel eens meegenomen in plaatselijke wielerrondjes en zorgt daar steevast voor verrassingen, want veel mensen onderschatten deze helling. Leuk om mee te nemen als je hier een rondje uitzet.
