Nice alternative to the Holstraat which is right next to it. You can make this one harder by starting from the railway and not descending from the church first. The nice thing about this climb is that it is somewhat irregular between steep and flat. As a result, it sometimes comes across as harder than it is if you have some course knowledge, whereas the Holstraat next to it is very even.... read more

Leuk alternatief voor de Holstraat die er vlak naast ligt. Je kan deze lastiger maken door van de spoorweg te vertrekken en niet eerst af te dalen vanaf de kerk. Het leuke aan deze klim is dat deze wat onregelmatig verloopt tussen steil en plat. Daardoor komt deze soms moeilijker over dan hij is als je wat parcourskennis hebt, terwijl de Holstraat ernaast is heel gelijkmatig.
