Quite a nice climb, the Kattestraat. It starts at the mini-village near the farm, from there on you can already see the road going up, it then goes straight on for 400m at a rate of 2/3 percent until the big "chicane"-curve, a right turn and then a left turn. It's really not busy, but you may encounter farm machinery. I would take the curve to the right, up the Hoge Kam, instead of going straight on up to the chapel and the busy road.

Quite a nice climb, the Kattestraat.

It's really not busy, but you may encounter farm machinery. I would take the curve to the right, up the Hoge Kam, instead of going straight on up to the chapel and the busy road. Because then you'll have a nice view on the surrounding area. I would certainly do it, but I like the Kruisstraat and the Maalderijstraat in parallel better.
Best wel een leuke klim, die Kattestraat. Hij start aan het mini-gehuchtje bij de boerderij, vanaf daar zie je de weg al stijgen, het gaat dan 400m constant rechtdoor aan een percentage van 2/3 procent tot aan de grote "chicane"-bocht, een bocht naar rechts en dan één naar links. Het is er echt niet druk, maar je kan er wel landbouwmachines tegenkomen. Ik zou wel eerder de bocht naar rechts pakken, de Hoge Kam op, in plaats van rechtdoor te rijden tot aan de kapel en de drukke weg. Want dan ga je een mooi uitzicht zien op de omgeving errond. Zou hem zeker eens doen, maar vind de Kruisstraat en de Maalderijstraat parallel wel mooier.
