Very nice climb. Great tarmac and beautiful scenery. Reasonably tough start and a very tough spur. Incredibly fun there.

Heel erg mooie klim. Geweldig asfalt en mooie omgeving. Redelijk zwaar begin en een heel zware uitloper. Ongelooflijk leuk daar.

One of the longer climbs in the area. Starts steeper and flattens out a bit afterwards. Nice tarmac. Ideal to look for the big plateau at the end and jump away from the rest.

Een van de langere klimmen in de omgeving. Begint steiler en vlakt nadien wat uit. Mooie asfalt. Ideaal om op het einde de grote plateau op te zoeken en weg te springen van de rest.

A pleasant climb, quite long but not very difficult. The surface is good, and the descent is also very pleasant.

Montée agréable, assez longue mais pas très difficile. Le revêtement est bon, et la descendre est aussi très agréable

Holstheide seems to go on and on! It opens relatively gently, but at the left-hand kink the percentages rise quickly. For a few hundred metres, the percentages keep hurting your legs. When you get to the houses you hope to be there, but the opposite is true: the Holstheide has a long spur that can slowly drain the legs.

De Holstheide lijkt maar door te gaan! Hij opent relatief rustig, maar aan het linkse knikje lopen de percentages snel op. Gedurende een paar honderd meter blijven de percentages je benen pijnigen. Wanneer je aan de huizen komt hoop je er te zijn, maar het tegendeel is waar: de Holstheide kent een lange uitloper die de benen langzaam kunnen doen leeglopen.

This climb can also be called the little irritating brother of the Smeysberg. It can be done with the off-ramp, but you will certainly suffer in the first part of the climb. Once the first part is over, it's just a matter of gearing up to gain speed. Definitely recommended if the Smeys is not your thing.

Deze klim kan je ook wel het kleine irritante broertje noemen van de smeysberg. Is op buitenblad te doen maar dan ga je het eerste deel van de klim zeker goed afzien. Eens het eerste deel voorbij is het kwestie van bijschakelen om snelheid te maken. Zeker een aanrader als de smeys niets voor jou is.

It is a climb located directly opposite the Smeysberg. It has been part of the final circuit of the Flèche brabançonne for a few years. In the last two editions, it came directly after the Moskesstraat and thus completed the work of undermining the cobbled wall. The Holstheide itself is not a thunderbolt: well surfaced, not very steep but quite long and pleasant, winding through a rural environment. Several times I saw pheasants crossing the road, without hurrying...

C'est une ascension située directement en vis-à-vis du Smeysberg. Elle fait partie du circuit final de la Flèche brabançonne depuis quelques années. Lors des deux dernières éditions, elle venait directement après la Moskesstraat et donc permettait d'achever le travail de sape entamé dans ce mur pavé. En elle-même la Holstheide n'est pas un foudre de guerre : bien revêtue, pas très pentue mais assez longue et agréable, sinuant dans un milieu champêtre. Il m'est arrivé plusieurs fois d'y voir des faisans traverser la chaussée, sans se presser…

Beautiful climb, good asphalt and nice and clear. So it is a good descent if you come from such smeysberg.

Mooie beklimming, goed asfalt en lekker overzichtelijk. Waardoor het een goeie afdaling is als je vanuit bijvoorbeeld de smeysberg komt.

A beautifull climb that is worth doing, the road is good, u travel past a few fields (with most of the time sheep in it) and through a little forest after that. The hardest part is in the beginning, as soon as u are past the forest the gradients become much easier, if u have a little left in the tank, attack here!
