Short cobbled climb in the Kempen region. You see the slope pop up immediately between the buildings and ride constantly up to the church. Not really tough for a moment, but enough to break the rhythm and push on for a while.... read more

Short cobbled climb in the Kempen region. You see the slope pop up immediately between the buildings and ride constantly up to the church. Not really tough for a moment, but enough to break the rhythm and push on for a while.

Kort kasseienklimmetje in de Kempen. Je ziet de helling meteen tussen de bebouwing opduiken en rijdt constant omhoog tot aan de kerk. Geen moment echt zwaar, maar wel genoeg om het ritme te breken en even door te trekken.

Very nice climb because you see the road going up right from the start (accentuated by the buildings) and then follow a nice route up to the church and - and this is the added bonus - the climb is entirely on (well-laid) cobblestones.

Heel leuke klim omdat je de weg vanaf het begin al meteen goed ziet oplopen (geaccentueerd door de bebouwing) en daarna een leuk traject volgt tot aan de kerk en - en dat is de extra bonus - de klim loopt geheel over (goed gelegde) kasseien.

Fun and short cobbled climb where the stones are well in. Ideal to add some fun to your route while you are in the area

Leuke en korte kasseienklim waarbij de stenen er goed in liggen. Ideaal om wat leuks toe te voegen aan je route als je toch in de buurt bent

Nice short cobbled climb where the stones are in pretty good shape. Nice to include in your lap if you do get near it

Leuke korte kasseiklim waarbij de stenen er vrij goed in liggen. Mooi om mee te nemen in je rondje als je er toch in de buurt komt

Incline from the Heistse Pijl, was curious to do the same. nice climb entirely with cobblestones, which are excellent. Most 'tricky' bit is at the back when you still have to turn up to the Kerkplein.

Helling uit de Heistse Pijl, was benieuwd om dat ook eens te doen. leuke klim volledig met kasseitjes, die er uitstekend bijliggen. Meest 'lastige' stukje bevindt zich achteraan wanneer je nog moet opdraaien naar het Kerkplein.

The real side of 'den Hestsen berg'. In the Kempen this is about the only slope in the region, so I pass here sometimes. Not because it's such a difficult slope. You can easily go from bottom to top on the 52. In the Heistse Pijl they also ride on this side. As far as I am concerned, it is the most difficult side, and that certainly has to do with the cobblestones. It gets tougher from the bend at the police station to the church. It's only a short climb, but it's nasty and steep.

De echte kant van 'den Hestsen berg'. Bij ons in de Kempen is dit zowat de enige helling in de regio, dus passeer ik hier wel eens. Niet omdat het zo'n lastige helling is. Je kan gemakkelijk van beneden tot boven op de 52. In de Heistse Pijl rijden ze ook via deze kant. Wat mij betreft is het de lastigste kant, en dat heeft zeker met de kasseien te maken. Het wordt het lastigst vanaf de bocht aan het politiekantoor naar de kerk toe. Dat is nog maar kort, maar vervelend steil.

Cobblestones along the entire length of this climb, which is by far the nicest of all possible alternatives.
At the top of the church square, continue straight on to pick up some more cobbles, around the church and then turn right down Bergop (by far the most pleasant and safe way to get back down).

Kasseien over de volledige lengte van deze klim, die veruit de fijnste is van alle mogelijke alternatieven.
Rij bovenaan het kerkplein rechtdoor om nog wat extra kasseien mee te pikken, rondom de kerk en dan vervolgens rechtsaf via Bergop naar beneden (veruit de meest aangename en veilige manier om weer naar beneden te geraken).

The highest point in the province to ride a bike on. Also the Heistse Pijl chooses this variant. Nice climb, especially for beginning cyclists in the region. The cobblestones are good, so that certainly doesn't have to scare you off.

Het hoogste punt in de provincie om met de fiets op te rijden. Ook de Heistse Pijl kiest voor deze variant. Leuke klim, zeker voor beginnende wielrenners in de streek. De kasseien liggen goed, dus dat hoeft zeker niet af te schrikken.

This is actually by far the nicest side of 'den Berg'. I used to go to school at the top. The Heistse Pijl also chooses this route. Via Bergop is the only route from the top without cobblestones in the descent.

Dit is eigenlijk veruit de leukste kant van 'den Berg'. Ik zat vroeger op de top op school. Ook de Heistse Pijl kiest voor dit traject. Via Bergop is het enige traject van op de top zonder kasseien in de afdaling.
