This traffic-free, dead straight and picturesque street brings you to the back of the Balenberg. The climb is not much, so it certainly invites you to go full throttle. Attention: if you go full throttle to the Moorsemsestraat, you'll have to brake hard several times right after the descent. At the bottom there is often gravel or small stones, and an accidental passer-by on a bicycle or in a car could unpleasantly surprise you!

This traffic-free, dead straight and picturesque street brings you to the back of the Balenberg. The climb is not much, so it certainly invites you to go full throttle.
Attention: if you go full throttle to the Moorsemsestraat, you'll have to brake hard several times right after the descent. At the bottom there is often gravel or small stones, and an accidental passer-by on a bicycle or in a car could unpleasantly surprise you!

On top of the Balenberg lies the Sven Nys Cycling Center, where the Sven Nys GP Cyclocross is held every year on New Year's Day. This is also the start and finish of the Sven Nys Cycling Route: 91.5 km ride through the Hageland with 765 altimeters.
As a base for the Sven Nys Cycling Route this "climb" is ideal. For those who want to make the few altimeters followed by a fresh beer, the Balenberg is even worth the detour.
For everyone else: the Hageland has better things to offer. Nice if you're in the neighborhood, to be avoided if you do not have to be there.

Dit verkeersluw, kaarsrecht en pittoresk straatje brengt je aan de achterkant van de Balenberg. Het klimmetje stelt niet veel voor, dus nodigt het zeker uit om vol gas door te gaan.
Opgelet: indien je vol gas de doorsteek maakt naar de Moorsemsestraat, dan valt het meermaals voor dat je hard in de remmen moet gaan vlak na de "afdaling". Onderaan ligt er vaak grind of kleine steentjes, en een toevallig passant op de fiets of met de wagen zou je onaangenaam kunnen verrassen!

Boven op de Balenberg ligt het Sven Nys Cycling Center, alwaar jaarlijks op Nieuwjaarsdag de GP Sven Nys Cyclocross wordt gereden. Tevens is dit ook het start- en eindpunt van de Sven Nys Cycling Route: 91.5 km rijden doorheen het Hageland met 765 hoogtemeters.
Als uitvalsbasis voor de Sven Nys Cycling Route is deze "klim" ideaal. Voor diegenen die in de buurt de weinige hoogtemeters willen maken gevolgd door een frisse pint, is de Balenberg zelfs de omweg waard.
Voor alle anderen: het Hageland heeft beters te bieden. Leuk als je in de buurt bent, te mijden als je er niet moet zijn.

This small hill doesn't mean much but it's fun to ride because of the nature and the narrow road.
It lies what we call at the back of the Balenberg and the last 200 meters are in the course of the annual big price Sven Nys cyclocross on New Year's Day. You can go up here without any problems with the big plateau. It is also the only hill in this area and further north there is no level difference anymore but you have beautiful bike trails in a beautiful nature and many small roads. For more hills you have to go south where you come in the beautiful Hageland with lots of steep hills and walls.

Dit kleine heuveltje stelt weinig voor maar door de natuur en het smalle weggetje wel leuk om op te rijden.
Het ligt wat wij noemen aan de achterkant van de Balenberg en de laatste 200 meter zit in het parcours van de jaarlijkse grote prijs Sven Nys veldrit op nieuwjaarsdag. Je kan hier zonder problemen met de grote plateau naar boven. Het is ook het enige heuveltje in deze omgeving en verder noordwaarts is er geen niveauverschil meer maar je hebt er wel mooie fietsroutes in een mooue natuur en vele kleine wegen. Voor meer heuvels moet je richting zuidwaarts fietsen waar je in het prachtige Hageland komt met heel veel steile hellingen en muren.
