Steenberg is just about the main slope in this area, popularly known as Little Switzerland. In the past, these climbs were regularly included in cycling races, as was the case in the last few years of the Beverbeek-Classic, a renowned race for underpromise riders with a strong line-up of continental teams from the flat Hamont-Achel region, which has unfortunately disappeared.... read more

The Steenberg from Opitter starts quietly and runs open towards the forest, where a short but distinctly steeper section follows in a hollow road. At the top, it quickly flattens out, making it mostly a short effort in green surroundings with a smooth finish.

De Steenberg vanuit Opitter begint rustig en loopt open richting het bos, waar een kort maar duidelijk steiler stuk volgt in een holle weg. Bovenaan vlakt hij snel uit, waardoor het vooral een korte inspanning is in een groene omgeving met een vlotte afloop.

A fun, green-looking climb that starts out relaxed and turns into a much steeper hollow in the forest, then quickly spills out at the top but mostly gains charm from its location

Een leuke, groen gelegen klim die relaxed begint en in het bos overgaat in een veel steilere holle weg, waarna hij boven snel uitloopt maar vooral charme haalt uit zijn ligging

De Steenberg is zowat de voornaamste helling in dit gebied dat in de volksmond en wielermiddens steevast "Klein- Zwitserland" wordt genoemd. Deze beklimming(en) werden in het verleden dan ook geregeld in wielerwedstrijden opgenomen.Zo zocht ook de laatste jaren van haar bestaan de Beverbeek-Classic, een gereputeerde helaas verdwenen wedstrijd voor beloften met vaak een stevige bezetting van continentale teams vanuit het vlakke Hamont-Achel deze regio op om toch enige hoogtemeters in het parcours te leggen

A nice climb that you can see running in front of you. Until the forest, it is a very easy climb, followed by a much steeper hollow road in the forest. When you leave the forest the climb is almost over. Nice green surroundings and the tarmac is fine.

Leuke klim die je mooi voor je uitziet lopen. Tot aan het bos loopt het lakker relaxed waarna in het bos een veel steilere holle weg volgt. Als je het bos verlaat is de klim al vrijwel over. Leuke groene omgeving en het asfalt is prima.
