Nice little climb. As usual there is a lot of traffic on the Rue d'Eich but afterwards it is very quiet and the Eicherfeld plateau is very nice, almost bucolic for a place located in the heart of Luxembourg city. The cobbled area is rather steep, to avoid it you can always take the montée Pilate from the Rue d'Eich. From there it is a residential area and then two serpentines in the forest with almost no traffic.... read more

Belle petite montée. Comme d'habitude bcp de trafic sur la route d'Eich mais après c'est très calme et le plateau Eicherfeld est très joli, presque bucolique pour un lieu situé au cœur de Luxembourg ville. Le secteur pavé est plutôt raide, pour l'éviter on peut tjs prendre la montée Pilate depuis la Rue d'Eich. À partir de là c'est un quartier résidentiel et puis deux serpentines en forêt avec presque pas de trafic.
