The climb starts on England Street on a nice stretch of tarmac. Unfortunately no cycle path present, but it is not really busy here. At the junction with Verrewinkelstraat, turn diagonally right. There are 2 signs for one-way traffic here, but this is allowed for cyclists. Beware of oncoming traffic, however, as in combination with the parked cars, the street width is quite limited. After a good 100 metres, the cobbles start, which look pretty good in 2024. Here too, however, beware of oncoming traffic as the width of the street is very limited, forcing you to drive onto the pavement for large vehicles. At the T-junction - where the cobbles end - turn left into the small tunnel (again very narrow so be careful with other traffic). From here on, the percentages are at their highest and that really hurts after those cobblestones! After about 800 metres you will reach the top. Not the most ideal climb in terms of infrastructure, but for me personally the most challenging of all other alternatives around the Kauwberg. Especially on a car-free Sunday, this is a must if you want to rack up some altimeters!

De klim start op de Engelandstraat op een mooi stukje asfalt. Helaas geen fietspad aanwezig, maar echt druk is het hier niet. Op de kruising met de Verrewinkelstraat ga je schuin naar rechts. Hier staan 2 borden voor éénrichtingsverkeer, maar voor fietsers is dit toegestaan. Let echter wel op met tegenliggers, want in combinatie met de geparkeerde auto’s is de straatbreedte vrij beperkt. Na een dikke 100 meten starten de kasseien, die er anno 2024 best goed bijliggen. Let ook hier echter op bij tegenliggers dat de breedte van de straat zeer beperkt is, waardoor je bij grote voertuigen verplicht bent de stoep op te rijden. Bij de T-splitsing - waar de kasseien ophouden- fiets je naar links het tunneltje onder (ook hier weer zeer smal dus oppassen met ander verkeer). Vanaf hier lopen de percentages het hoogst op en dat doet na die kasseien echt wel pijn! Na zo’n 800 meter kom je dan op de top. Qua infrastructuur dus niet de meest ideale klim, maar voor mij persoonlijk wel de meest uitdagende van alle andere alternatieven rond de Kauwberg. Vooral op autoloze zondag is dit een aanrader als je ook wat hoogtemeters wil meesprokkelen!
