If I have to compare this climb to the rest of Cuesta van het Waasland, it definitely gets 4 stars. Nice climb, good road surface. You reach the top at a bridge over the E17 but it has a green verge with flowers (see photo). This is followed by a small section of fine gravel through the forest, though. Doable on a road bike (28 mm tyres I had). In short: easy and fun climb, my climbing time includes a break for some photos's.... read more

Pleasant climb over good road surface - even the gravel bike path at the end is fine. Quiet surroundings and a few turns finish it off.

Aangename klim over goed wegdek - ook het gravelfietspad op het eind is prima te doen. Rustige omgeving en een paar bochten maken het af.

Very nice climb - not difficult at all. Hugely quiet, very nice scenery and nice tarmac (something that is often a problem with climbs in the area). You cross the E17 at the end to then take another stretch of gravel road - this is very doable on a course bike, though.

Heel leuk klimmetje - helemaal niet lastig. Enorm rustig, zeer mooie omgeving en mooi asfalt (iets wat vaak een probleem is met de klimmetjes in de buurt). Je rijdt op het einde de E17 over om dan nog een stukje gravelweg mee te nemen - dit is echter zeer goed te doen met een koersfiets.

Als ik deze klim moet vergelijken met de rest van Cuesta van het Waasland dan krijgt deze toch zeker 4 sterren. Mooie klim, goed wegdek. Je komt boven aan een brug over de E17 maar die is voorzien van een groene berm met bloemen (zie foto). Daarna volgt wel een klein stukje fijne gravel door het bos. Goed te doen met de racefiets (28 mm banden had ik). Kortom: makkelijke en leuke klim, mijn klimtijd is incl. pauze voor enkele foto's.
