A typical Hageland climb. Short with a steep peak in the middle. Nice to throw everything open for once and see if you survive the hump!... read more

It's a climb with very good road if you try to train your punch in this region this should be one of your go to climbs it's very steep in the middle and flattens out near the top, look out it's false flat, especially if you continue you towards pellenberg then you make the climb a good bit longer and harder.

A typical Hageland climb. Short with a steep peak in the middle. Nice to throw everything open for once and see if you survive the hump!

Een typische Hagelandklim. Kort met een steile piek in het midden. Leuk om eens alles open te gooien en te zien of je het bultje overleeft!

The comments about traffic are exaggerated; the road is very wide on the steep section. The even gradient gives the allure of a steep col or a steeper Wine Press. Similar to the steep side of Mount Chartreuse (via Kapeldreef). Descent via Bovenlowegeg (also) worthwhile. Could definitely have been included in Ride Leuven.

De opmerkingen over het verkeer zijn overdreven, de weg is op het steile gedeelte erg breed. Het gelijkmatige stijgingspercentage geeft de allure van een steile col of een steilere Wijnpers. Vergelijkbaar met de steile kant van de Chartreuzeberg (via Kapeldreef). Afdaling via Bovenloweg (ook) de moeite waard. Had zeker kunnen opgenomen worden in Ride Leuven.

Spicy to bang on, but there can be quite a lot of traffic on the track. Alternative via the Trolieberg is more pleasant, but easier

Pittig om op te knallen, maar er kan nogal veel verkeer op de baan zijn. Alternatief via de Trolieberg is aangenamer, maar eenvoudiger

I always seem to be lucky with the traffic, the Lange Lostraat a bit more to the east is a lot busier. I also don't really see what's wrong with Heideberg being steep? I live in the neighbourhood and it's always satisfying to arrive at the top of this pile.

Ik heb blijkbaar altijd geluk met het verkeer, de Lange Lostraat iets meer ten oosten is een pak drukker. Ik zie ook niet echt wat er mis is met het feit dat de Heideberg steil is? Ik woon in de buurt en het geeft altijd wel voldoening om bovenop deze puist aan te komen.

This climb is located on a very busy street and environment with a lot of traffic obstacles and parked cars.
Just before the church it is very steep but it is not a nice mountain and environment for cycling.

Deze klim is gelegen op een zeer drukke straat en omgeving met heel wat verkeershindernissen en geparkeerde auto's.
Juist voor de kerk loopt het wel erg steil omhoog maar het is geen leuke berg en omgeving om te fietsen.
