Hestreux

Description

According to the bible of all of us, the Encyclopedia Cotacol, the côte de la Baraque Michel-Nord, with its total score of no less than 336, should be a real calf biter. However, it is not the percentages that make this slope worthwhile. The percentages that matter are in the first 1000 meters of the climb, known locally as Côte de Hestreux.
Its beauty in natural beauty really gives you the feeling of being in the middle of a wildlife park. Far away from civilization, with its length of more than 13 kilometers, it gives you plenty of time for the necessary self-reflection. In particular, why you had to fight Mother Nature if necessary. The rustle of trees mixes with the monotonous rhythm you try to maintain during this unexpectedly easy climb. The only thing that keeps your attention on the ride is, unfortunately, the bad road surface, which makes it seem to an outsider that you have lost the north because you are "wandering" from left to right on the course. A good exercise for breading on heavier slopes. Nevertheless, perseverance is rewarded with the opportunity to take a nice descent towards Eupen and then to take a closer look at the German Lake District. Or the more challenging version towards Malmedy, where the great "Angstgegener" Ferme Libert awaits.
