Bois de l'Abbaye from Stavelot

At just 1.1km, Bois de l'Abbaye from Stavelot is short but deceptively intense — 72m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The average gradient of 6.2% disguises ramps of 15.7% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. It's over before the legs know what happened — a short, explosive effort where momentum is everything. Located in Wallonia, Belgium.
