Nice route. Away from the brick road. Very steep at one point. Highly recommended.

Leuke route. Weg van de steenweg. Op een bepaald punt heel stijl. Een aanrader.

Right next to the busy Brusselsesteenweg you will find the Bovenberg. The first part of this climb has a separate Strava segment: the 'wall of Anne'. And you'll see why....

This slope immediately opens unscrupulously: a real wall looms in front of you, the outer leaf here is reserved for only a few top riders... My Garmin peaked at 14％, just before you turn left to then take the spur.

The surroundings, apart from the Brusselsesteenweg, are quiet. Furthermore, this slope is a tremendously fine training spot to work on your punch.

Vlak naast de drukke Brusselsesteenweg vind je de Bovenberg. Het eerste deel van dit klimmetje heeft een apart Strava-segment: de 'muur van Anne'. En je zult zien waarom....

Deze helling opent meteen zonder scrupules: een heuse muur doemt voor je op, het buitenblad is hier voor slechts enkele toppers weggelegd... Mijn Garmin piekte op 14％, vlak voordat je links afslaat om vervolgens de uitloper te nemen.

De omgeving, los van de Brusselsesteenweg, is er rustig. Verder is deze helling een enorm fijne trainingsplaats om aan je punch te werken.
