As a Limburger, what I find very strange about this slope and its 3 alternatives is that it belongs to Haspengouw and the 4 climbs of the Galgenberg, which are located in the immediate vicinity (a few hundred metres), are known in cycling circles as the Bolderberg and are located on the Kempish plateau? This is despite the fact that both were part of the 1969 and 2002 World Cups, which were held on the Zolder Terlaemen race track.

Wat ik als Limburger bij deze helling en zijn 3 alternatieven toch wel zeer vreemd vind is dat deze tot Haspengouw zouden behoren en de 4 in de onmiddellijk liggende ( slechts een paar honderd meter verderop) beklimmingen van de Galgenberg, in wielermiddens gewoon als de Bolderberg gekend op het Kempisch plateau zouden liggen?Dit terwijl beiden zelfs tijdens de Wk's van 1969 en 2002 in het parcours lagen die op en in de onmiddellijke omgeving van het autocircuit van Zolder Terlaemen verreden werden?Heusden-Zolder behoort officieel tot de Kempen.

Fun to catch while you're in the area. Short enough to go full speed but the bends might take your speed out a bit.

Leuk om mee te pakken als je toch in de buurt bent. Kort genoeg om voluit te gaan maar de bochten halen misschien je snelheid er wat uit.

The Sterrenwacht, or in Limburg cycling circles mainly known as the Pitshelling, is one of the most famous slopes in Belgian Limburg, given its cycling history.This climb was therefore part of the 2002 World Cup route and also regularly served as a sharpening judge at youth races in the region.Short but punchy through the first right and, to a lesser extent, the second left turn.

De Sterrenwacht of in Limburgse wielermiddens vooral gekend als de Pitshelling, is gezien zijn wielerverleden een van de meest gekende hellingen van Belgisch-Limburg.Deze klim was dan ook in 2002 onderdeel van het wk traject en diende ook bij jeugdwedstrijden in de regio geregeld als scherprechter.Kort maar pittig door de eerste steile rechtse en in mindere mate de tweede linkse bocht.
