Short climb with a short steeper kink in it. Nice scenery, at the top you can then go through the forest and further down towards the more serious work. Nice warm-up.... read more

Short climb with a short steeper kink in it. Nice scenery, at the top you can then go through the forest and further down towards the more serious work. Nice warm-up.

Kort klimmetje met een kort steiler knikje erin. Mooi landschap, bovenaan kan je dan door het bos en verder afdalen richting het serieuzere werk. Mooie opwarmer.

If you come from the north, e.g. from the coast, the roads become more undulating from Watou (Poperinge) onwards. The ascent towards the Helleketel forest can perfectly be taken with the big plateau. It is a green and peaceful environment. Ideal warm-up for when you cross to Westouter (Rodeberg, Baneberg, ...) or Boeschepe (Boeschepeberg, Catsberg, ...).

Als je van het noorden komt, vb. van de kust, worden vanaf Watou (Poperinge) de wegen glooiender. De beklimming richting het Helleketelbos kan perfect met de grote plateau genomen worden. Het is een groene en rustige omgeving. Ideale opwarmer voor als je doorsteekt naar Westouter (Rodeberg, Baneberg, ...) of Boeschepe (Boeschepeberg, Catsberg, ...).
