A nice ascending road that comes out on top of some other slopes in the area. Nowhere steep and mainly an intermediate section for those who want to go from Linden or the other side of the Distsesteenweg/Leuvensesteenweg towards Houwaart where there are a lot of nice and tough slopes.

Een leuk oplopende weg die uitkomt op de top van enkele andere hellingen in de buurt. Nergens steil en vooral een tussenstuk voor wie van Linden of de andere kant van de Distsesteenweg/Leuvensesteenweg richting Houwaart wil waar heel wat mooie en pittige hellingen liggen.
