Highly recommended! The road leading up to it is perhaps the most beautiful, as you have to take a short cut through a rocky road anyway, but once you've turned in, this is immediately forgotten. Nice winding upwards with a steep part in the dead end at the end. This brings you to the highest point of the region and when the weather is good, you have a good view of the whole region, including Brussels. Not a climb you will add to your ride every time, but one you must have done!... read more

Een aanrader! De weg ernaartoe is misschien de mooiste, want je moet sowieso via een stukje steenweg, maar eenmaal opgedraaid vergeet je dat meteen. Leuk gekronkel naar boven met als einde nog een steil stukje in de doodlopende straat. Je komt dan op het hoogste punt van de regio en je hebt bij goed weer zicht op de hele streek, onder andere Brussel zie je goed liggen. Geen klimmetje dat je elke maal opnieuw in je ritje zal steken, maar wel eens moet gedaan hebben!
