Is shorter but spicier than the south side. After the turn comes the toughest part.

Is korter maar pittiger dan de zuid kant. Na de bocht komt het zwaarste stuk.

Surrounding area Gerhagen has great roads for cycling in nature!
This slope starts with a long straight road. You think you see the top, but there's another bit coming.
There is then a right turn and then comes the "toughest" bit. I had 2 cyclists in my sights. Definitely not a tough or steep climb, making you stagnate.
Nice climb to include in a training ride.
Good road surface (asphalt) and little traffic (encountered many cycling tourists though).

Omgeving rondom het gebied Gerhagen heeft fantastische wegen om te fietsen in de natuur!
Deze helling start met een lange rechte weg. Je denkt dat je de top ziet, maar er kom nog een stukje aan.
Er is dan een bocht naar rechts en dan komt het "zwaarste" stukje. Ik had 2 wielertoeristen in het vizier. Zeker geen zware of steile klim, waardoor je stilvalt.
Leuke klim om mee te nemen in een trainingstochtje.
Goed wegdek (asfalt) en weinig verkeer (wel veel wielertoeristen tegengekomen).

Is actually in a flat area. You turn up the climb and feel it slope slightly. At the top is a small bend after which it gets slightly steeper. Not that you're going to park completely after that bend, but you still feel it when you've sprinted it up.

Ligt eigenlijk in een vlakke omgeving. Je draait het klimmetje op en voelt het lichtjes hellen. Bovenaan ligt een bochtje waarna het iets steiler wordt. Niet dat je volledig gaat parkeren na dat bochtje, maar je voelt het toch wanneer je hem omhoog gesprint hebt.

This one is not that difficult. But as a variation between the flatter sections, it is a nice one. To sprint on.

Zo lastig is deze nu ook niet. Maar als variatie tussen de vlakkere stroken door, is het een leuke afwisseling. Om eens op te sprinten.

Runner with a snappy lock that you don't see until after the right turn. Quiet road, between the trees and uphill good tarmac. The descent is a bit bumpier. If you do ride to Diest and Grasbos from the Kempen, it's always nice to take this one along.

Loper met een pittig slot dat je pas ziet na de bocht naar rechts. Rustige weg, tussen de bomen en bergop goede asfalt. De afdaling ligt er iets hobbeliger bij. Als je toch naar Diest en Grasbos rijdt vanuit de Kempen, is het altijd leuk deze mee te nemen.
