1 of my favourite climbs we rode today in the Dwars door Vlaanderen cyclo. Especially the end (through the forest) is very pleasant cycling. The road is quite narrow but that makes the climb just as nice.

Irregular, cool climb, a good alternative if you want to avoid Koppenberg at all costs.
This one does end on the main track, so be careful in after the climb.

Onregelmatige, toffe klim, een goed alternatief als je de koppenberg koste wat het kost wilt vermijden.
Deze eindigt wel op de grote baan, dus goed oppassen in na de klim.

Beautiful surroundings and a few nice steep bends. Furthermore, not too complicated. Because of the cycling history, it is worthwhile to ride over it.

Mooie omgeving en een paar lekker steile bochten. Verder niet te ingewikkeld. Vanwege de wielerhistorie de moeite waard om eens overheen te rijden.

Nice and quiet climb on an almost perfect road surface. The Kortekeer is especially steep in the bends, but right before and after that it is definitely doable. Don't get caught in the bends and everyone brings this one to a good end.

Mooie en rustig klim op een nagenoeg perfect wegdek. De Kortekeer is vooral even steil in het bochtenwerk maar vlak daarvoor en erna valt het zeker te doen. Laat je niet vangen in de bochten en iedereen brengt deze tot een goed einde.

Starts with a warming up piece, but after the first turn it's hard work.
There are 3 nice turns where the gradient is noticeable.

Begint met een opwarmstukje, maar na de eerste bocht is het werken geblazen.
Zitten 3 mooie bochten in waar het stijginspercentage merkbaar is.

I usually do this mountain first when I ride to the Flemish Ardennes. I find it a rather abrupt start because of the steep first turn.
After that it flattens out a bit but it is too steep to find a good pace and you have to work your way up.
Very nice environment and quiet street. Watch out for descending cyclists from the other direction.

Ik doe deze berg meestal als eerste als ik naar de Vlaamse Ardennen rijd. Vind het toch een redelijk abrupt begin door de steile eerste bocht.
Daarna vlakt het wat af maar is het te steil om een goed tempo te vinden en is het harken naar boven.
Heel mooie omgeving en rustige straat. Wel opletten voor afdalende fietsers uit de andere richting.

The Kortekeer is certainly not an absolute killer, but the first bend is quite steep and after that it is a case of raking and hoping to get to the top as soon as possible.

De Kortekeer is zeker geen absolute killer, maar de eerste bocht is best steil en daarna is het harken en hopen dat je zo snel mogelijk boven bent.

Good alternative if you never want to do the Koppenberg after the Paterberg and still want to cross to Oudenaarde or the Mariaborrestraat/Stationsberg/Taaienberg. Pretty steep parts and the road winds up nicely!

Goed alternatief als je na de Paterberg nooit meer de Koppenberg wil doen en toch door wil steken naar Oudenaarde of de Mariaborrestraat/Stationsberg/Taaienberg. Aardig steile stukjes en de weg slingert mooi omhoog!
