Since the road surface was renewed two years ago, the cobbles are easy to avoid. But those with cobblestone hunger can still dock across the middle.

Sinds het wegdek vernieuwd is, 2 jaar geleden zijn de kasseien makkelijk te vermijden. Maar wie kassei-honger heeft, kan nog steeds over het midden dokkeren.

Cobblestone slope where I clambered up many a time as a student on a bike with flat tyres. Anyway, you have to recover for a while at the top, but once at the top you do pass the famous Yucca in St Peter's Square.

Beware, downhill can be a dangerous descent with the bridge over the Lys and the intersection with the Sunset at the end. Especially if you have already had some beer.

Kasseihelling waar ik als student menig maal naar boven ben geklauterd op een fiets met platte banden. Sowieso moet je even bekomen boven, maar eenmaal boven kom je wel langs de bekende Yucca op het Sint-Pietersplein.

Opgelet, bergaf kan dit een gevaarlijke afdaling zijn met op het einde de brug over de Leie en het kruispunt met de Sunset. Voornamelijk als je reeds wat bier achter de kiezen hebt.

Cobblestone slope towards St Peter's Square, traffic not too bad and fairly steep.

Kasseihelling richting Sint Pietersplein, verkeer valt mee en redelijk steil.

The only real cobblestone hill in Ghent. From the little bridge to the right hand bend, you can choose between an asphalted strip next to the cobbles or the real Flandrien experience (in miniature) on the cobbles themselves. From the bend on it's only cobblestones for a while and then you turn into Sint-Pietersplein. The cobblestones are very good and there is little traffic!

De enige echte kasseihelling in Gent. Vanaf het brugje tot de bocht naar rechts kan je hier kiezen tussen een geasfalteerde strook naast de kasseien of de echte Flandrienervaring (in het klein dan) op de kasseien zelf. Vanaf de bocht even enkel kasseien en dan het Sint-Pietersplein opdraaien. De kasseien liggen er zeer goed bij en weinig verkeer!
