Short, you get to the top in no time. Truly a punchers climb, as others also say.

Kort, je bent zo boven. Echt een punchersklim, zoals anderen ook zeggen.

Nice name for a slope, but you won't encounter hell here yet.
This is a slope for the punchers. Nice slope to sprint up. You can just make it to the top before you start to stagnate. At the foot you see the slope and you think: "Wow, that one is steep". But in terms of steepness it really isn't that steep.
Beautifully paved track in a wooded area.
Once at the top, you can take very nice cycling roads without much traffic, such as Sint-Jobweg or Kraaikant.

Leuke naam voor een helling, maar de hel kom je hier nog niet tegen.
Dit is een helling voor de punchers. Leuke helling om naar boven te spurten. Je kan net de top halen vooraleer je begin stil te vallen. Aan de voet zie je de helling liggen en denk je "amai die is steil". Maar qua steilte valt het echt goed mee.
Mooie geasfalteerde baan in een bosrijke omgeving.
Eens boven kan je hele leuke fietswegjes zonder veel verkeer nemen zoals de Sint-Jobweg of Kraaikant.

Quiet little climb (a bit contradictory, because you go under the E314).
Very good tarmac, but the road runs monotonously/annoyingly straight. Personally: I had expected more of it.
Nevertheless the Hellegat remains a nicer challenge and above all a safer way to cycle from Gelrode to Nieuwrode.

Rustig gelegen klimmetje (beetje contradictorisch, want je duikt de E314 onderdoor).
Zeer goed asfalt, maar de weg loopt eentonig/saai rechtdoor. Persoonlijk: ik had er meer van verwacht.
Doch blijft het Hellegat een fijnere uitdaging en vooral een veiligere manier om van Gelrode naar Nieuwrode te fietsen, want het verdergelegen Rot mijd je beter.

Hageland: short and steep. As it should be. For the punchers among us. Or for those who have a smaller gear and don't pay much attention to the speedometer.

Hageland hé: kort en steil. Zoals het hoort. Voor de punchers onder ons. Of voor zij die een kleinere versnelling bijhebben en niet zo naar de snelheidsmeter kijken.

Don't be surprised by the wall you only see at the foot, it's heavy but it's certainly not impossible.

Verschiet niet van de muur die je pas aan de voet ziet, hij is zwaar maar onmogelijk is hij zeker niet.

Nice climb of about 300 m but steep. Since the summer of 2020 there is a new asphalt layer.
What comes after is also nice and little traffic.

Leuk klimmetje van ongeveer 300 m maar steil. Sinds de zomer van 2020 ligt er een nieuwe asfaltlaag.
Wat er achter komt is ook mooi en weinig verkeer.
