One of many ways from Etikhove towards the Hotond ridge. So if you turn right at the end, you can actually, after a short descent, continue climbing up to the Hotond. In fact, it is mostly turns and turns on bad concrete lanes with lots of potholes with once or twice a steep kink in it for which you go on your pedals for a while (if you stay on your outside leaf). Not a very'difficult climb, then. Positives: Scenically quite beautiful with open space, occasional views and the bends mean it ... read more

One of many ways from Etikhove towards the Hotond ridge. So if you turn right at the end, you can actually, after a short descent, continue climbing up to the Hotond. In fact, it is mostly turns and turns on bad concrete lanes with lots of potholes with once or twice a steep kink in it for which you go on your pedals for a while (if you stay on your outside leaf). Not a very'difficult climb, then. Positives: Scenically quite beautiful with open space, occasional views and the bends mean it doesn't get boring easily. Secondly, there is hardly any traffic.

Een van de vele manieren om vanuit Etikhove richting de heuvelrug van de Hotond te gaan. Als je op het einde rechtsaf gaat kun je dus eigenlijk, na een kort afdalingetje, nog doorklimmen tot op de Hotond. Het is feitelijk vooral draaien en keren over slechte betonbanen met veel putten met een keer of twee een steile knik erin waarvoor je even op je trappers gaat (als je op je buitenblad blijft). Niet zo'n moeilijke klim dus. Positieve punten: Landschappelijk best mooi met een open ruimte, af en toe zicht en door de bochten wordt het niet snel saai. Ten tweede is er nauwelijks verkeer.
