Everything difficult on Kluisberg but via a quieter road and in nice surroundings. Small descent through the forest where it's best to watch out for the many hikers and oncoming traffic, then back hard to make it to the top.... read more

Everything difficult on Kluisberg but via a quieter road and in nice surroundings. Small descent through the forest where it's best to watch out for the many hikers and oncoming traffic, then back hard to make it to the top.

Alles wat moeilijk is aan de Kluisberg maar dan via een rustigere weg en in een leuke omgeving. Klein stukje dalen door het bos waar je best oplet voor de vele wandelaars en tegenliggers, daarna nog even terug hard je best doen om de top te halen.

In my opinion, a nicer way to ride up Kluisberg than via the main road from Ruien. In principle easier but I don't think so, this one is tricky enough.

Naar mijn mening een leukere manier om de Kluisberg op te rijden dan via de hoofdweg uit Ruien. In principe makkelijker maar dit vind ik niet, deze is lastig genoeg.

Don't start too fast, there is enough oxygen in the forest, so also on hot days it is doable. Don't get caught by the smell of the terraces, your reward will come later. But the temptation was there

niet te snel starten, er is genoeg zuurstof in het bos, dus ook op hete dagen goed te doen. Laat je niet vangen door de geur die van de terrassen komt, jouw beloning komt later. Maar de verleiding was er wel degelijk
