If you are not a fan of cobblestones, this is a nice alternative to the Haaghoek. It goes in two parts on a relatively narrow road with almost continuous beautiful scenery. It does feel a bit steep at times, mainly because it's irregular but actually it's not too bad. Definitely recommended if you want Flemish Ardennes without too many cobblestones on your course.

Als je geen fan bent van kasseien is dit een mooi alternatief voor de Haaghoek. Het gaat in twee delen over een relatief smal weggetje met bijna continue mooie omgeving. Het voelt soms wel wat steil aan, vooral doordat het onregelmatig is maar eigenlijk valt het mee. Zeker een aanrader als je Vlaamse Ardennen wilt zonder te veel kasseien op je parcours.

Without having to include the cobbles of haaghoek, this is a great alternative to ride towards Elst. It is a climb in two parts. It starts on Bosseveld
& Pottenberg

Zonder de kasseien van Haaghoek mee te moeten nemen is dit een prima alternatief om richting Elst te rijden. Het is een klim in twee delen. Het begint op Bosseveld waar je de eerste 200 meter even moet aanzetten. Daarna vlakt het af en daal je zelfs een stukje. Aan het einde op de splitsing ga je linksaf de Pottenberg op en mag je gelijk over 300 meter aan de bak en is het stijgingspercentage max. 9%. Hierna vlak de klim weer af.

This climb deserves more than a score of 3.5! It allows you to skip the cobbles of the Haaghoek (that alone is worth a fantastic score) and in a very beautiful open landscape!

Deze klim verdient meer dan een score van 3,5! Hij staat je toe de kasseien van de Haaghoek over te slaan (dat alleen al is een fantastische score waard) en dat in een zeer mooi open landschap!

The first part of the climb can be bridged by pedalling down to the base.
Real climb of the Pottenberg starts after the unexpected descent.
The climb is not too bad and you arrive at the top of the Leberg.

Eerste deel van de klim kan je al wat overbruggen door bij te trappen in de afdaling naar de voet.
Echte klim van de Pottenberg begint na de onverwachtse afdaling.
Klim valt goed mee en je komt op de top van de Leberg.

Climb in two parts with the hardest part in the beginning. Climb in the middle of a beautiful, quiet green environment.

Klim in twee delen met het zwaarste stuk telkens in het begin. Klim midden in een mooie, rustige groene omgeving.

De Pottenberg is een goed alternatief voor wie van de zone Molenberg komt en naar de Berendries wil zonder over de kasseien van de Haaghoek te moeten. Niet al te moeilijk, een nieuwe laag asfalt en een prachtige omgeving!
