First part is along a busy brick road (Diest - Scherpenheuvel). You do ride on a very good cycle path. Climb starts just after a carnival shop. Piece of false flat, but found it tricky as I had a headwind. Then a turn to the right, the nicest and steepest part.

Piece of false flat, but found it tricky as I had a headwind.
Then a turn to the right, the nicest and steepest part. I did a sprint up, but had to swerve to the pavement as several cars'd stopped there in the middle of the lane. The section is not too steep at all and you can easily keep up the effort until the top.
The last part you have to watch out for cars and pedestrians, because then you are at the place of pilgrimage.
Nice steep section, just a pity it is so crowded.
Als je in de omgeving aan het fietsen bent, zie je de basiliek al van ver liggen.
Eerste gedeelte is langs een drukke steenweg (Diest - Scherpenheuvel). Je rijdt er wel op een heel goed fietspad. Klim begint vlak na een carnavalswinkel.
Stukje vals plat, maar vond het wel lastig aangezien ik wind tegen had.
Dan een bocht naar rechts, het leukste en steilste gedeelte. Ik deed een sprint naar boven, maar moest uitwijken naar het trottoir aangezien verscheidene auto's er stilstonden in het midden van de rijbaan. Het stuk is helemaal niet té steil en de inspanning kan je vlot volhouden tot boven.
Laatste gedeelte nog opletten voor auto's en voetgangers, want dan ben je aan het bedevaartsoord.
Leuk steil stukje, enkel jammer dat het er zo druk is.
