Short but tough climb with changing road surface. The first section is smooth, then it gets steeper and more difficult due to the cobblestones. Not long, but intense. Beautiful scenery and good for a brisk ride.

The only climb near Amsterdam! A must for cyclists in Amsterdam.

The second best way to climb to the top, at the start theres a good chance of some people walking dogs but theyre always pretty careful which is nice, the cobbles are less annoying the longer you go, but the climb as a whole doesn't ride amazing. The decent down the otherside is amazing though

Nicely located climb with some pretty challenging bits, especially with the somewhat sloppily laid cobbles as an added factor. The first part is still asphalt which turns left with a nice curve and then changes to cobblestones. A downhill section is followed by the second climb to the Kneteman letterbox.

Love hate relationship with this "mountain" but nevertheless a nice location to train for a summer full of cycling in France.

For a long time the only climbing opportunity in the area for me. And climbing is a big word, more intervals. You can make several different laps around the Kopje, but the north side is the most work. The cobblestones make it difficult to ride and also require attention to bike position and core.

I agree that north is annoying with the bad cobblestones. But it does have strips of 10+% and is therefore more 'spicy' than south.

This climb is for every rider from Amsterdam the only segment that counts. In my opinion, this climb deserves a movie ;)
