Quite a nice and steep little road, which climbs on for a while after the tricky start. It reminded me a bit of the Berendries. Always the sound of the motorway close by, though, and at the top you end up on the terrible Brusselsesteenweg.... read more

Best een aardig en steil weggetje, wat na het lastige begin nog een tijdje doorklimt. Het deed me een beetje aan de Berendries denken. Wel altijd het geluid van de snelweg dichtbij, en boven kom je uit op de verschrikkelijke Brusselsesteenweg.

Less difficult than the variant via the Vossestraat, because it is (slightly) less steep and above all without cobbled sections. Those who are allergic to the "kasseien" will prefer this climb, which is already quite difficult.

Moins difficile que la variante par la Vossestraat, car (un peu) moins pentue et surtout sans secteur pavé. Ceux qui sont allergiques aux "kasseien" privilégieront cette côte-ci, déjà assez ardue.
