geen fijne weg om op te rijden. veel verkeer en betonbaan. als je tegenwind hebt is het echt geen lachertje.

Scenically ok, but is a very annoying concrete track that does not run smoothly. You're going to be glad when you're off it.

Landschappelijk wel ok, maar is een heel vervelende betonbaan die niet vlot loopt. Je gaat blij zijn als je er vanaf bent.

A variant of the Schapenheide that avoids the paved section (Oude Bertembosstraat).

Beware, the cycle path along this Bosstraat is in poor condition. And it doesn't get any better on the long descent to Bertem that follows.

Whether you ride the Schapenheide or the entire Bosstraat, you can expect to be shaken up...

Variante du Schapenheide qui en évite la partie pavée (Oude Bertembosstraat).

Attention, la piste cyclable qui longe cette Bosstraat est en mauvais état. Et ça ne s'arrange guère dans la longue descente vers Bertem qui suit.

Qu'on fasse le Schapenheide ou la Bosstraat en entier, il faut donc s'attendre à être secoué…
