Beautiful climb. Very nice scenery despite being close to the metropolis. Runs up fairly evenly at first and is not steep. Only when you get past the twisty and green part and get between the buildings does it get really tough. Spicy....read more

Prachtige klim. Zeer mooie omgeving ondanks dat de grootstad dichtbij is. Loopt in het begin redelijk gelijkmatig op en is niet stijl. Pas als je het bochtige en groene gedeelte voorbij bent en tussen de bebouwing komt wordt het echt zwaar. Pittig.

The experiences already shared here certainly did not lie! Beautiful, traffic-free and, above all, tough climb. Especially in this region it is not so easy to find such'a nice climb!
De ervaringen die hier al gedeeld werden zijn zeker niet gelogen! Mooie, verkeersluwe en vooral ook pittige klim. Zeker in deze regio is het nog niet zo gemakkelijk om zo'n mooi klimmetje te vinden!

Wow, what a relief compared to the Keperenberg that lies right next to it. A narrow winding road up through the meadows. In the winter evenings the mist rises from the fields. It's quite a challenge, especially on the way back to Brussels.
Wauw, wat een verademing vergeleken met de Keperenberg die er vlak naast ligt. Een smal slingerend weggetje door de weilanden omhoog. In de winteravonden stijgt de nevel op van de velden. Best een pittig ding ook, zeker op de terugweg naar Brussel.

One of my favorite climbs in Pajottenland, a bucolic variant of Keperenberg. The road is narrow (watch out for oncoming vehicles) and seems to be in the middle of the countryside, except at the top, whereas the neighbouring Keperenberg is much wider and already in the city.
The nearby church of Sint-Anna-Pede is worth a visit.
Une de mes montées préférées du Pajottenland, variante bucolique du Keperenberg. La route est étroite (attention aux véhicules venant en face) et paraît se trouver en pleine campagne, sauf au sommet, tandis que le Keperenberg voisin est bien plus large et déjà en milieu citadin.
À proximité, l'église de Sint-Anna-Pede mérite une petite halte touristique.

Nice short climb, where the devil is in the tail. The climb starts in the green and ends at the Itterbeeksebaan. Good alternative for the Keperenbergstraat. Going in the direction of Ternat you can then descend the Snikbergstraat.
Mooie korte klim, waarbij het venijn in de staart zit. De klim start in het groen en eindigt aan de Itterbeeksebaan. Goed alternatief voor de Keperenbergstraat. Rijdend richting Ternat kan je vervolgens de Snikbergstraat afdalen.
