Towards the end, it weakens a little but is never very steep, though on the longer side.

Richting het einde zwakt het wat af maar is nooit heel steil, wel aan de langere kant.

Very nice climb! Reasonable road surface along its entire length. A quiet lane that first goes past houses and then through a bush. Recommended if you're in the area!

Heel leuke klim! Redelijk wegdek over de hele lengte. Een rustig baantje dat eerst langs huizen en dan door een bosje loopt. Aanrader als je in de buurt bent!

Very nice climb: tricky, steep, very quiet and in very beautiful surroundings. Often combined with Hurdumont - which makes it even trickier. Recommended.

Zeer mooi klim: lastig, steil, zeer rustig en in zeer mooie omgeving. Vaak in combinatie met Hurdumont - dat maakt het nog lastiger. Aanrader.

A climb that deserves to be better known! In a very quiet, wooded area. It is used by the pro peloton during the "GP Claudy Criquielion"

Nice climb, starts steep and flattens out a bit at the end. Asphalt is good and you almost never encounter traffic. Surroundings of the whole region are super.

Leuke klim, begint steil en vlakt op het einde wat af. Asfalt is goed en je komt er bijna nooit verkeer tegen. Omgeving van de hele regio is super.

Nice climb that initially is a bit steeper. Afterwards, you briefly pass through a beautiful forest where the percentages level off.

Leuke klim die initieel wat steiler klimt. Daarna passeer je kort een mooi bos waar de percentages afvlakken.

gives a steep impression when it comes to it, but nice tarmac makes it a nice climb;
once past the first bend it levels off;

geeft een steile indruk als het er voorkomt, maar mooie asfalt maakt het een leuke klim;
eens voorbij de eerste bocht vlakt het af;

You can also climb this peak from Aulnoit: Brique - Potteree. It's a bit longer but very similar. Les Plachettes does have a nicer view. If you have time to look around of course...

Ook de moeite is deze top te beklimmen vanaf Aulnoit: Brique - Potteree. Is net iets langer maar zeer gelijkaardig. Les Plachettes wel mooier van uitzicht. Als je tijd hebt om rond te kijken natuurlijk...

Superb climb. In a straight line up, between the houses and at the end through a small forest. Similar to the Berendries, but les Plachettes is more beautiful and more difficult.

Schitterende klim. In rechte lijn omhoog, tussen de huizen en aan het eind door een bosje. Lijkt op de Berendries, maar les Plachettes is mooier en lastiger.

This rather steep climb is best combined with the even steeper " Hurdumont " which lies nearby. Also in the programme of the Grinta Challenge - La Tournay.

Deze nogal steile klim wordt best gecombineerd met de nog steilere « Hurdumont » die vlakbij ligt. Ook in de programma van de Grinta Challenge - La Tournay.
