I drove to Heist-op-den-Berg especially for it. Palmbosstraat is a quiet residential area, not too wide so you have to be a bit careful when a rare car approaches you. Only at the end is it a bit of a push. You go over cobblestones even then, even before the right turn, towards the church, you've had the steepest. Beautiful square, worth the climb and the trip.

Ben er speciaal voor naar Heist-op-den-Berg gereden. De Palmbosstraat is een rustige woonwijk, niet al te breed dus een beetje opletten als er een zeldzame auto je tegemoet rijd. Enkel op het einde is het eventjes duwen. Je gaat ook dan over kasseien, nog voor de bocht naar rechts, richting kerk, heb je het steilste gehad. Mooi plein, de klim en de tocht waard.

Nice and traffic free approach of the Heistse "berg". Through the residential area you go over the macadam and some refuge hills, until you reach the cobblestones (common with the approach via Grotstraat). Drive straight on at the top of the church square to get some extra cobblestones, there are hardly any around Heist-op-den-Berg, so extra fun with a cobblestone is a bonus.

Tip: avoid this climb around the end of school hours, unless you like to navigate between school children.

Fijne en verkeersluwe aanloop van de Heistse "berg". Via de woonwijk dokker je over de macadam en enkele vluchtheuvels, tot aan het stuk waar je aan de kasseien begint (gemeenschappelijke stuk met de aanloop via de Grotstraat). Rij bovenaan het kerkplein rechtdoor om extra kasseien mee te pikken, er liggen rond Heist-op-den-Berg amper, dus extra dokkerplezier is mooi meegenomen.

Tip: vermijd deze klim rond het einde van de schooltijd, tenzij je graag laveert tussen schoolkinderen.

The Heistse berg is a typical Flemish cobblestone climb. It is not very long, nor very steep. But it sure does bounce and wobble! It starts in the middle of a residential quarter and ends at a beautiful church in the center of the village. Because there are not many other climbs in the immediate vicinity, this one is worth the effort.

De Heistse berg is een typisch Vlaams kasseienklimmetje. Deze is niet enorm lang, ook niet heel steil. Maar stuiteren en hobbelen doet ie zéker! Je begint midden in een woonwijk en je eindigt bij een mooie kerk in het centrum van het dorp. Omdat er niet veel andere klimmen in de directe buurt zijn, is deze meepakken de moeite waard.
