Start at the railway crossing in the centre of Munkzwalm where you still have to ride in the built-up area on the track itself. After about a kilometre you come to a separate cycle path, far enough away from the main track and so you constantly climb slightly towards the south.

Start at the railway crossing in the centre of Munkzwalm where you still have to ride in the built-up area on the track itself.

After about a kilometre you come to a separate cycle path, far enough away from the main track and so you constantly climb slightly towards the south.

Although this is a main lane, it's never really busy here and what's more, you have beautiful views of the Zwalm region both left and right.

The closer to the top, the more likely it is that a puffing cyclist is coming up from one of the many adjacent streets.

Starten doe je aan de spooroverweg in centrum Munkzwalm waar je nog in de bebouwde kom op de baan zelf moet rijden.

Na een kleine kilometer kom je op een apart fietspad, ver genoeg gelegen van de grote baan en zo stijg je constant lichtjes richting het zuiden.

Hoewel dit een hoofdbaan is, is het hier nooit echt druk en bovendien heb je zowel links als rechts prachtig uitzicht op de Zwalmstreek.

Hoe dichter bij de top, hoe meer kans dat er uit 1 van de vele aanliggende straatjes een puffende wielertoerist naar boven aan het komen is.
