I don't quite understand why this climb is so relatively unknown. The road surface is not super but the climb is in beautiful surroundings. The hardest part is at the end of where if you have energy to look back there is also a nice view. The climb is similar to the Foreest but just a little less steep.... read more

Nice climb, could be better known, especially the end is a bit of a struggle.

Very nice & underrated climb in a pedestrian street. 800m long with few or no rests & you will undoubtedly feel that.

One of the steeper climbs in this part of the region. Less well known because not really prominent in the spring races, but in my opinion a much better alternative to the better known mountain ter stene.

At the crossroads of the Korte Berg / Beekkantstraat (where the RVV chapel is situated) the road descends to the foot of the Steenberg. If you get going, you can make up some meters and you'll soon reach the steepest part.
Quiet road where you only meet some hikers.
