Narrow street, first part paved but of good quality. The second part asphalted.
Wąska uliczka, pierwsza część brukowana, ale o dobrej jakości. Druga część asfaltowa.
The cobblestones at the beginning of the slope are in relatively good shape, which immediately invites the riders to hurtle towards the steeper final stretch.
But watch out!
Just before leaving the cobbles, you come across a nasty crossroads: traffic comes from both left and right, forcing you to come to a virtual standstill. Anyway, downshift and hit the final stretch at full throttle (which I don't think ever reaches 11％...).
In itself a more than fine slope, but a potentially dangerous situation halfway down this slope costs a star....
De kasseien aan het begin van de helling liggen er relatief goed bij, wat meteen uitnodigt om met een rotvaart richting de steilere eindstrook te knallen.
Maar opgepast!
Vlak voor je de kasseien verlaat kom je op een vervelend kruispunt terecht: het verkeer komt zowel van links als rechts aangereden, waardoor je genoodzaakt bent om quasi tot stilstand te komen. Enfin, even terugschakelen en volle gas de eindstrook opknallen (die volgens mij nooit de 11％ aantikt...).
Op zich een méér dan fijne helling, maar een potentieel gevaarlijke situatie halverwege deze helling kost een ster....
A very short and relatively easy ascent, starting from the Dyle and arriving at the busy Naamsestraat. It's worth the walk because it runs alongside the magnificent Leuven Beguinage, where it's good to stroll through the old houses (preferably on foot, because of the large, awkward cobblestones!).
Ascension très courte et relativement facile, partant de la Dyle et arrivant à la Naamsestraat très fréquentée. Elle vaut la peine d'être parcourue parce qu'elle longe le magnifique grand béguinage de Louvain, où il fait bon se balader au milieu des maisons anciennes (de préférence à pied, en raison des gros pavés malcommodes !).
