Quiet, long road uphill where you can enjoy the scenery without seeing too much off. You start at the railway line in Zwalm and arrive in the centre of Sint-Denijs-Boekel. Personally, I prefer cycling this one downhill as you can then take ample time to let some oxygen into the legs.... read more

Rustige, lange weg omhoog waar je kan genieten van de omgeving zonder al teveel af te zien.

Je vertrekt aan de spoorlijn in Zwalm en arriveert in het centrum van Sint-Denijs-Boekel.

Persoonlijk fiets ik deze liever bergafwaarts aangezien je dan ruim de tijd kan nemen om wat zuurstof in de benen te laten komen.
