Delicious climb. The definition of stoempen you find in this climb. The 'real climb' is actually quite short, the road starts at the red piece in the percentages. The road surface is crappy but that makes it actually even better. If it has rained I recommend not to 'm. In the street is the devil 'm in the tail, after the last house there is a nasty piece, I think the 21% haha. If you have had the steep street then you come to a large road. You have to be careful when crossi... read more

What a great thing this is. It starts walking on a fairly wide street in a residential area. And then you turn right. Then it's light shifting because it keeps getting steeper. And the road here is so bad. It's really careful steering. One mistake and you're done, you just fall over.

If you look back, you have a great view of Liege. An absolute must-do

Wat een geweldig ding is dit zeg. Het begint lopend op een redelijk brede straat in een woonwijk. En dan ga je rechts. Dan is het licht schakelen want het blijft maar steiler worden. En de weg is hier zo slecht. Het is echt opletten met sturen. Met een foutje ben je klaar, dan val je gewoon om.

Kijk je achterom dan heb je een geweldig uitzicht op Luik. Een absolute must-do

Delicious climb. The definition of stoempen you find in this climb. The 'real climb' is actually quite short, the road starts at the red piece in the percentages. The road surface is crappy but that makes it actually even better. If it has rained I recommend not to 'm. In the street is the devil 'm in the tail, after the last house there is a nasty piece, I think the 21% haha. If you have had the steep street then you come to a large road. You have to be careful when crossing the road and after that you will have to go from 4 to 7%. Chances are that your heartbeat is very high, so this part is even worse.

All in all, really recommendable if you like steep strips like me. I would say ride 'm and crown yourself to one of the (so far) 197 Strava cyclists who 'm come up!

Heerlijke klim. De definitie van stoempen vind je in deze klim. De 'echte klim' is maar vrij kort eigenlijk, het straatje begint bij het rode stuk in de percentages. Het wegdek is bagger maar dat maakt het eigenlijk alleen nog maar mooier. Als het geregend heeft raad ik 'm niet aan. In de straat zit het venijn 'm in de staart, na het laatste huis komt er nog een smerig stukje, ik denk de 21% haha. Als je het steile straatje gehad hebt dan kom je uit bij een grote weg. Oppassen met oversteken en daarna krijg je nog het stuk van 4 tot 7% voor je kiezen. Kans is groot dat je kneiter hoog in je hartslag zit dus dit stuk is nog verschrikkelijk haha.

Al met al, echt een aanrader als je van steile stroken houdt net als ik. Ik zou zeggen rijd 'm op en bekroon je tot een van de (tot nu toe) 197 Strava wielrenners die 'm op gekomen zijn!
