The Witte Burg is just about the chicest neighbourhood in Oostduinkerke. This street is also about the highest point in the region, not counting the Hoge Blekker dune in the neighbouring municipality of Koksijde.

From Leopold II avenue, you seem - literally - to run aground on a loooong dune wall. Just before the playground, however, you turn right, where the drop-off begins. After a left turn, you encounter a short uphill stretch, but you're through it quickly if you turn properly.

"A perfectly normal street", you might think. But on your left you come across a closet of a grey villa. Here lives none other than the Godfather of Flemish children's song and owner of the most famous dog in the Benelux: Gert Verhulst!

That is why - with some exaggeration and a hint of bias - I give this "climb" a score of 5 stars!

De Witte Burg is zowat de chiqueste wijk van Oostduinkerke. Deze straat is eveneens ongeveer het hoogste punt van de regio, de Hoge Blekker-duin te buurtgemeente Koksijde buiten beschouwing gelaten.

Vanuit de Leopold II-laan lijk je - letterlijk - te stranden op een loeisteile duinwand. Vlak voor het speeltuintje sla je echter rechtsaf, alwaar het valsplat begint. Na een linkse bocht kom je een korte oplopende strook tegen, maar je bent er snel door als je goed ronddraait.

"Een doodnormale straat", zou je denken. Maar aan je linkerkant kom je een kast van een grijze villa tegen. Hier woont niemand minder dan the Godfather van het Vlaamse kinderlied en baasje van de bekendste hond van de Benelux: Gert Verhulst!

Daarom geef ik - met enige vorm van overdrijving en een hintje bias- deze "klim" een score van 5 sterren!
