Always did when I had to go to university in Leuven. Proud as I was, I avoided the students who didn't have the acceleration (or strength) to get to the top under their own power. As a result, it was always fairly crowded with pedestrians. Was actually more fun on the city bike than the road bike. You come out on Naamsestraat.

Altijd gedaan toen ik naar de universiteit moest in Leuven. Trots als ik was ontweek ik de studenten die de versnelling (of kracht) niet hadden om op eigen kracht boven te geraken. Daardoor was het altijd redelijk druk met voetgangers. Was eigenlijk nog leuker op de stadsfiets dan de racefiets. Je komt uit op de Naamsestraat.

Short steep cobblestone climb, through a residential street, leaving below up past the right of St Anthony's Chapel on the oblong Father Damien Square,
Was already the connection between the "upper town" and "lower town" in the Middle Ages.
A water channel with grates runs centrally. Narrows at the end to a narrow alley (cyclists/pedestrians only), with bollards in the middle, before opening out onto the Naamsestraat footpath.
Memories of my student days when, a lot younger, I "RAMde" up here on a dilapidated women's bike without gears!

Korte steile kassei klim, door een woonerf straat, beneden vertrekkend omhoog langs de rechterzijde van de Sint Antonius kapel op het langwerpige Pater Damiaanplein,
Was reeds in de middeleeuwen de verbinding tussen de "bovenstad" en "laagstad".
Er loopt centraal een watergoot met roosters. Versmalt op het einde tot een eng steegje (alleen fietsers/voetgangers), met paaltje in het midden, alvorens uit te komen op het voetpad van de Naamsestraat.
Herinneringen aan mijn studententijd toen ik, een pak jonger, hier met een aftandse vrouwenfiets zonder versnellingen naar omhoog "RAMde"!

The regulatory alternative of St Anthony's Mountain.

The length and gradient of this stone pile invites you to go full throttle upwards. That makes this 'slope' so nice to do.
The cobblestones/clinkers are in a relatively good condition, the students and walkers who walk there sometimes form a bigger nuisance.

Nice to do if you want to ride the World Cup loop in Leuven, but I would not necessarily descend for it.

Het reglementaire alternatief van de Sint-Antoniusberg.

De lengte en hellingsgraad van deze stenen puist nodigt uit om volgas omhoog te vlammen. Dat maakt deze 'helling' zo fijn om te doen.
De kasseien/klinkers liggen er relatief goed bij, de studenten en wandelaars die er lopen vormen soms een grotere hinder.

Fijn om eens te doen als je de WK-lus in Leuven wilt rijden, maar ik zou er niet per se voor afzakken.

Is this a slope? For the students who have to go up drunkenly on their rusty bikes, maybe, yes. But apart from that. You have to ride up at the right side of the little church of Sint Damiaan. If you go up on the left (the Sint-Antoniusberg), you go where Alaphilippe left off from the breakaway in the 2021 World Cup. Although that had more to do with the fact that the rest couldn't react on every attack, than the slope of this street. Small tip: do choose for the Ramberg, because the Sint-Antoniusberg is a one-way street from top to bottom and the cops in Leuven are quite precise. But anyway: this is far from a worthwhile trip. The whole city center of Leuven is to be avoided. I would drive around Leuven, that's nicer, quieter and more difficult.

Is dit een helling? Voor de studenten die dronken op hun verroeste fiets omhoog moeten misschien wel, ja. Maar voorts. Je moet rechts van het kerkje van Sint Damiaan naar boven rijden. Als je links omhoog rijdt (de Sint-Antoniusberg), dan rijd je waar Alaphilippe wegreed van de kopgroep in het WK van 2021. Al had dat er meer mee te maken dat de rest niet op elke aanval kon reageren, dan de helling van deze straat. Kleine tip: kies toch voor de Ramberg, want de Sint-Antoniusberg is enkelrichting van boven naar beneden en de agenten van Leuven zijn nogal precies. Maar sowieso: dit is verre van de moeite waard. Heel Leuven centrum is te mijden. Ik zou rond Leuven rijden, dat is mooier, rustiger en lastiger.

A very short paved raid, but which may be surprising given its location in the heart of Leuven.

Note that the parallel called Sint-Antoniusberg is in the local circuit of the world championships on September 26, 2021.

Raidard pavé très court mais qui peut surprendre vu sa situation en plein cœur de Louvain.

À noter que la parallèle appelée Sint-Antoniusberg figure dans le circuit local des championnats du monde du 26 septembre 2021.
