Een typisch klimmetje voor de streek. Heel kort en steil, maar anderzijds volgt het na een even steil en korte afdaling. Parcourskennis helpt hier.

A truly typical Flemish Ardennes pustule. Fast downshifting after descending but also over quickly.

Een echt typische Vlaamse Ardennenpuist. Snel terugschakelen na het afdalen maar ook snel voorbij.

The picturesque little valley in which the Renaix-Audenarde railway line winds its way through, just north of Renaix, has some nice surprises in store for cyclists, including this Spichtenberg. Whatever side of the valley you ride on, you need to know how to manage your speed, as the slopes change suddenly.

La pittoresque petite vallée dans laquelle se faufile la ligne de chemin de fer Renaix-Audenarde, juste au nord de Renaix, réserve quelques belles surprises aux cyclistes, dont ce Spichtenberg. Quelle que soit le versant abordé, il faut savoir gérer son braquet, car les ruptures de pente sont soudaines.
