Steep MTB Climb Near Aulne Abbey

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

After a bucolic crossing of the Sambre, there is a very nice mountain bike climb, very steep and rocky at will, in the woods.

Lantern-Bearer Sculpture on the Leernes–Abbaye d'Aulne Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Monument

Good section, coming from Leernes towards the abbey of Aulne, succession of descents and climbs, beware of the very many stones which make the task a bit technical
