At the end of March 2022 I rode this route as my first long cycle training with altimeters. I found the course with, among others, Muur and Bosberg, the most famous hills, very challenging. Moreover, you cycle in a beautiful, hilly environment. The region is much less known than the Flemish Ardennes, but this is mainly an advantage. It is a very quiet place to cycle, with hardly any traffic on the route. Highly recommended!
Eind maart 2022 deze route gereden als eerste lange fietstraining met hoogtemeters. Het parcours met oa. Muur, en Bosberg als bekendste hellingen vond ik zeer uitdagend. Bovendien fiets je in een prachtige, glooiende omgeving. De regio is een pak minder bekend dan de Vlaamse Ardennen, maar dit levert vooral voordelen. Heerlijk rustig fietsen is het, met op de route amper verkeer. Aanrader!
Very nice route, with many beautiful panoramas on the tops of the hills. The roads are good, of course you have to watch out for loose sand and stones. We left from the wall, you have large parking lots on the vests and on top of the wall. Boelarebos I have changed by the overberg, that is much better rideable, if you feel like cobblestones you can do of course the sanatoriumberg! Overall, definitely a must!
Zeer mooie route, met veel mooie panorama’s op de toppen van de heuvels. De wegen zijn goed berijdbaar, natuurlijk wel af en toe opletten voor steentjes en los zand. Wij zijn vertrokken vanop de muur, je hebt grote parking op de vesten en bovenop de muur. Boelarebos heb ik wel verandert door de overberg, die is veel beter berijdbaar, als je zin hebt in kasseien kan je natuurlijk wel de sanatoriumberg doen! Over het algemeen zeker een aanrader!
Good tip! The Boelarebos is not the best climb to do, especially in bad weather. We adapted the route and replaced it by the climb of the Overberg.
Goede tip! Het Boelarebos is idd niet de best begaanbare beklimming, zeker niet bij slecht weer. We hebben de route aangepast en vervangen door de beklimming van de Overberg.
Nice route, but unfortunately halfway at the Boelarebos I got stuck in the mud along the barrier at the beginning of the climb. Maybe adjust the route there?
Mooie route, maar helaas halverwege bij het Boelarebos onderuit gegaan door modderpaadje langs de slagboom aan het begin van de klim. Misscien de route daar aanpassen?
Thanks for the warning. See also the reaction above. For better rideability, we have adjusted the route and replaced the Boelarebos with the Overberg climb.
Dank voor de waarschuwing. Zie ook de reactie hierboven. Voor de betere berijdbaarheid hebben we de route aangepast en is het Boelarebos vervangen door de klim van de Overberg.
