Coming from the Kriesberg (nice road), you can pick up some speed to tackle this mountain. The more speed you get in the beginning, the easier and faster the cobbles pass. Those cobbles are in good shape by the way. After the cobblestones, you start to reduce your speed a bit and come to a Y section. Then you have to deal with another kink. With the road showing some potholes and cracks, it doesn't run like clockwork and that last kink hurt. Slope is not too long though. Nice alternative... read more

Slope is not too long though. Nice alternative to the busier and easier stone road towards Aarschot. Although you shouldn't do this then if you have bad legs.

Als je vanaf de Kriesberg komt (mooie weg) kan je wat snelheid maken om deze berg aan te vatten.
Hoe meer snelheid je in het begin haalt, hoe makkelijker en sneller de kasseien passeren. Die kasseien liggen er goed bij trouwens.
Na de kasseien begin je wat snelheid te minderen en kom je aan een Y-stuk. Dan moet je nog een knik verwerken. Door de weg die wat putten en scheuren vertoont, loopt het voor geen meter en deed die laatste knik pijn.
Helling is echter niet te lang. Mooi alternatief voor de drukkere en makkelijkere steenweg richting Aarschot. Al moet je dit dan niet doen als je slechte benen hebt.

Really easy is different, as the road surface is rather poor. Thereby quite steep. But not very long, so the suffering is quick. Still, I wouldn't especially build a route around it.

Echt makkelijk is anders, want het wegdek is nogal matig. Daarbij vrij steil. Maar niet heel lang, dus het leed is snel geleden. Toch zou ik er niet speciaal een route omheen bouwen.

Steep ascending part of the macadam (if you start higher on the Kriesberg you will have another strip of cobblestones) that is relatively good.
Due to the short length of the slope you can digest it very well.

At the top of the slope keep left and you will end up on the Rijksweg where you can continue towards Kraaikant and Nieuwrode.

Nice to do once, but nothing more....

Steil oplopend stuk macadam (indien je hoger op de Kriesberg start heb je nog een strook kasseien) dat relatief goed bolt.
Door de korte lengte van de helling verteer je deze heel goed.

Houd aan de top van de helling links aan, en dan kom je op de Rijksweg terecht alwaar je je weg kan hervatten richting de Kraaikant en Nieuwrode.

Leuk om eens te doen, maar niets meer....

In the beginning there are cobblestones. But they are straight and without cracks. Afterwards it gets a bit steeper, but nothing special. Tip: if you come down from the mountain of Houwaart, don't take the cobblestone road, but the un-cobblestone road. Then you have to turn 180°, and that pull-up hurts. Once you have turned left, it is a bit steep. You come from a bit deeper than when you take the cobblestone road. But also this one is not that difficult.

In het begin liggen er kasseitjes. Maar ze liggen recht en zonder spleten. Nadien wordt het nog eventjes iets steiler, maar niets bijzonders. Tip: als je van de berg van Houwaart komt afgedaald, neem dan niet de kasseiweg, maar de onbekasseide weg. Dan moet je 180° draaien, en dat optrekken doet pijn. Eenmaal je de bocht naar links bent gedraaid, is het wel een beetje steil. Je komt van iets dieper dan wanneer je de kasseiweg neemt. Maar ook deze is niet zo lastig.

Short but steep slope that lies a bit lost next to the road Aarschot - Tienen.
The first half is cobblestones that are bumpy but decent.
The second part is concrete that also goes up steeply but the cobblestones feel of course steeper.

Korte maar steile helling die een beetje verloren ligt naast de baan Aarschot - Tienen.
De eerste helft zijn kasseien die er hobbelig maar behoorlijk bijliggen.
Het tweede deel is beton dat eveneens steil omhoog gaat maar de kasseien voelen natuurlijk steiler aan.
