Here you really imagine yourself in the Flemish Ardennes! The two types of cobbles make it a real winner, just a pity that the road turns into a concrete path (perfectly passable by bike, mind you), otherwise it would definitely have been in the Tour of Limburg. I've ridden it dozens of times, and yet the rougher cobbles at the end are always just too much when I try to blast it to the top.
Hier waan je je echt even in de Vlaamse Ardennen! De twee soorten kasseien maken het echt een topper, alleen jammer dat de weg in een betonpad veranderd (met de fiets perfect begaanbaar hoor), want anders had hij zeker in de ronde van Limburg gezeten. Ik heb hem al tientallen keren opgereden, en toch zijn de ruigere kasseien op het einde er altijd net te veel aan als ik hem probeer tot boven te knallen.

A climb that starts on fairly passable small cobblestones but halfway up it changes to some rougher cobblestones. Definitely worth planning for.
Een beklimming wat begint op redelijk begaanbare kleine kasseien maar halverwege gaat deze over naar wat ruigere kasseien. Zeker de moeite waard om in te plannen.
