Bend 7 is for connoisseurs

Highlight • Other

If not on the way up, then you should definitely make a stop down the valley. In the bend there is a small forest with two benches. Both benches invite you to look and relax. My pictures give a little idea.

Superb bike path

Highlight (Segment) • Other

A very gentle track which allows you to admire superb landscapes. Be careful, there is a watchtower that can be difficult to pass depending on the rain that fell on the previous days!

Goose skin, after about 20-25 years I did it again !! It was nice that the passing racing cyclists always cheered me on with ale ale and a few cars also drove 10m next to me and cheered! Belgium NL France and Spain and not just for me. That's what you call bike crazy in a positive sense
