The easier way to climb the Houwaartberg. Via the narrow road, which begins to meander halfway up, you reach the top of the hill. You have to be careful there: the colleagues from the other side (Kriesberg) often come down with a rocket speed ... That is the disadvantage of this climb compared to the Wall of Houwaart.
Maybe I should choose the big boy after all :-)

De eenvoudigere manier om de Houwaartberg te beklimmen. Via het smalle weggetje, dat halverwege wat begint te slingeren, kom je boven op de heuvel. Je moet er wel oppassen: de collega's van de andere kant (Kriesberg) komen vaak met een rotvaart naar beneden... das het nadeel dat deze klim heeft tov de Muur van Houwaart.
Misschien toch maar voor de grote jongen kiezen :-)

Today I did this alternative route of the Houwaartberg for the 50th time and for me it is definitely in the top 5 of the many climbs in the Hageland.
It starts very quietly but in the S-curve it gets really steeper but still fun. A real gem in the first open part and then a piece of hollow road and at the top rewarded with a beautiful view.

Vandaag voor de 50ste keer deze alternatieve route van de Houwaartberg gedaan en van mij staat deze zeker in de top 5 van de vele klimmetjes uit het Hageland.
Het begint heel rustig maar in de S-bocht wordt het echt steiler maar nog leuk. Een echt pareltje in eerst open deel eb daarna een stuk holle weg en boven beloond met een prachtig uitzicht

One of the nicest climbs in the Hageland and much more pleasant than its super steep brother which I do at least once a week. If you drive towards the Muur van Houwaart, you have to turn right for the alternative route of the Houwaartberg, a narrow road that at first rises very slowly, but after the first turn to the right it goes up considerably. Be careful in the double S-curve because it is narrow and you do not see the oncoming traffic. The area is a true cycling paradise.
At the top you can turn right or go straight on. In the immediate vicinity are many other nice climbs.

Eén van de leukste klimmetjes van het Hageland en veel aangenamer dan zijn super steile broer die ik minstens 1 keer per week doe. Als je richting de Muur van Houwaart rijdt moet je voor de alternatieve route van de Houwaartberg rechtsaf een smal weggetje dat in het begin heel langzaam oploopt maar na de eerste bocht naar rechts behoorlijk omhoog loopt. Opgelet in de dubbele S-bocht want het is er smal en je ziet de tegenliggers niet. De omgeving is een waar fietsparadijs .
Boven kan je zowel rechts als rechtdoor. In de directe omgeving zikn nog heel wat andere leuke beklimmingen.

Smaller brother of the steeper and heavier Houwaartberg.
Narrow road so watch out for oncoming traffic.

Kleinere broertje van de steilere en zwaardere Houwaartberg.
Smal wegje dus oppassen voor tegenliggers.
