Nice climb around Leuven. You don't need it for the views, but it is pleasant riding between the houses. Also fine as a descent by the way. You end up on a major road.

Mooie beklimming rondom Leuven. Voor het uitzicht hoeft het niet, maar het is aangenaam rijden tussen de huizen door. Ook prima als afdaling overigens. Je komt uit op een grote weg.

Nice climb, especially thanks to the different bends and therefore more than worthwhile. There are relatively few oncoming vehicles because most people take the Brusselsesteenweg or the Heidestraat to descend. This is indeed the only real Sigarenberg!

Leuke beklimming, zeker dankzij de verschillende bochten en daarom meer dan de moeite waard. Er zijn relatief weinig tegenliggers want de meeste mensen nemen de Brusselsesteenweg of de Heidestraat om af te dalen. Dit is inderdaad ook de enige echte Sigarenberg!

Very even climb, never steep or heavy (unless you have done it several times on your route).
You can turn right at the top just before the road and descend immediately, but beware of the narrow bend that you immediately encounter!

Zeer gelijkmatige klim, nooit steil of zwaar (tenzij je deze meermaals op je traject hebt ingelegd).
Je kan bovenaan vlak voor de steenweg rechtsaf slaan en meteen afdalen, maar let op voor de smalle onoverzichtelijke bocht die je er meteen tegenkomt!

The only real classic Sigarenberg route starts in front of the church in Winksele and winds uphill through the villa district without any extremes until it reaches the Brussels stone road. There, on the corner, used to be the tavern "Sigaar", which explains a lot.
There is only local traffic because it is a dead-end street that, at the top, only allows cyclists and walkers to pass.
The climb has become famous among cycling enthusiasts because it has been the subject of several challenges.
Professional cyclist Victor Campenaerts, who lived nearby, set the tone by cycling up it 100X in a row (August 2019). A record that has already been broken by others, but Vocsnor still has the fastest climbing time (KOM Strava) on his record.
During corona times (May 2020), duathlete Seppe Odeyn even did a "Everesting challenge" with his 239 climbs.
For myself, it has been a fixed part of my climbing route for many years.

De enige echte klassieke Sigarenberg route start voor de kerk van Winksele en slingert zich door de villawijk bergop zonder extremen tot de Brusselse steenweg. Daar boven op de hoek was vroeger Taverne "Sigaar" wat veel verklaart.
Er is enkel plaatselijk verkeer want het is een doodlopende straat die ter hoogte van de top enkel doorgang bied aan fietsers en wandelaars.
De klim verwierf bekendheid bij wielerfanaten omdat hij onderwerp was van enkele uitdagingen.
Profwielrenner Victor Campenaerts, die daar in de buurt heeft gewoond, zette de toon door er 100X na elkaar op te fietsen (Augustus 2019). Een record dat reeds scherper gesteld is door anderen,maar Vocsnor heeft momenteel nog altijd de snelste klimtijd (KOM Strava) op zijn palmares.
Tijdens coronatijden (Mei 2020) deed duatleet Seppe Odeyn er met zijn 239 beklimmingen zelfs een "Everesting challenge".
Voor mezelf is hij al vele jaren vast onderdeel van mijn klimfietsroute.
