The Braeckepoort is the central axis from which several side roads lead to the final part of several short ramps. The starting point is the well-known steep wall of the Vestingstraat.
After the turn, the wide road lined with houses goes up false flat. When the buildings stop and the road narrows to 2 lanes it dives straight into the forest to end up on the plateau.
!!! If you go back downhill, in the forest part, there are not so bike-friendly sewage grates along the side!

De Braeckepoort is de centrale as van waaruit verschillende zijwegen vertrekken, naar het slotdeel van verschillende korte hellingen. Aanloop ernaar is de gekende steile muur van de Vestingstraat.
Na opdraaien gaat de brede weg omzoomt met huizen vals plat omhoog . Wanneer de bebouwing stopt en de weg versmalt tot 2 rijstroken duikt hij rechtdoor het bos in om bij het uitkomen ervan op het plateau te eindigen.
!!! Als je terug bergaf gaat zijn er in het bos deel niet zo fietsvriendelijke rioleringsroosters langs de kant!

Heavy climb the first 200 meters if you come from the track from the center of Aarschot and turn right because then it is a real wall and some super steep meters but once you turn left it is still a runner. Watch out for the many parked cars once you've turned left. The road is very wide everywhere and once you get to the last house on the left you can also turn left into a very small street (Leibergweg) that has a nice but steep S-curve.

Zware klim de eerste 200 meter als je van de baan vanuit het centrum van Aarschot komt en rechts opdraait want dan is het een echte muur en enkele supersteile meters maar eens je naar links draait is het nog een loper . Wel opletten voor de vele geparkeerde wagens eens je links af geslagen bent. De weg is overal zeer breed en eens aan het laatste huis links komt kan je ook naar links , een heel klein straatje ( Leibergweg ) dat een leuke maar steile S bocht heeft.
