Short climb from Overveen with a solid start and a fairly constant ascending profile. Asphalt rides well, with another short section of cobblestones at the top. Feels a bit longer than the length suggests and requires continuous pace. Good training climb in the region.

The best way to climb to the top, it was Knetemann's prefered way to climb it, and due to the asphalt its the easiest, but descending down the other side is more of a hustle due to the stone road and the traffic.

Of course "hear" you tackle the Kopje from the north side but actually the south side is just a lovely climb. Largely excellent tarmac (the last part are the familiar cobbles again) and a partly tasty steady and very perceptible ascent with some curves in it. It would be a shame not to catch this one too if you are here. The 10％ sign at the top is a bit exaggerated, by the way.

Beautiful and, in my opinion, the spiciest side to climb the Kopje van Bloemendaal. During the F1 weekend in Zandvoort car-free (except for local residents), so ideal for a climb.

North is from the hockey club Bloemendaal in the direction of the open air theater Caprera, from where the steepest part starts.

I found both variations from the north side to be a lot more tough than the south side, but all doable.

Actually, the most difficult climb of the Kopje, because before it is already about 300 meters false flat and then the road goes up agonizingly slowly. In contrast to the other variants, there is no intermediate section here to catch your breath. The real top riders can come up in a power sprint, but the groomers will have a hard time. Great training piece, do it 10 times in a row and you really need to "climb".
