In the middle of the flat roads of the region, the Erchin pass is a delight for punchers. The climb remains accessible, however. It was not listed when the Tour de France passed through in 2022.

Relatively easy cobblestone strip, which is neat. Especially in Paris Roubaix (with its 3 extremely difficult 5-star sections, it's nice to have a normal one every now and then. Like this one. The nature/environment is somewhat desolate, so that won't warm you up :)

Superb paved road, well rolling. It winds through the middle of the green countryside.

The nature park is rightly named this way. I had a lot of fun cycling through it. It would have been even more enjoyable if I had been able to cycle on good cycle paths.
