The easiest, but longest side of the Kasteelbrakelsesteenweg. At the bottom of the canal you turn right at the café into the Boslaan where it goes up after the first little bend. After the houses it gets steeper and at the turn it descends slightly. The hardest part is after the flat part up to the T with the Spitaelslaan. Nice climb, but the alternative via Trompstraat is more challenging.... read more

The easiest, but longest side of the Kasteelbrakelsesteenweg. At the bottom of the canal you turn right at the café into the Boslaan where it goes up after the first little bend. After the houses it gets steeper and at the turn it descends slightly. The hardest part is after the flat part up to the T with the Spitaelslaan.

Nice climb, but the alternative via Trompstraat is more challenging.

De gemakkelijkste, maar langste kant van de Kasteelbrakelsesteenweg. Beneden aan het kanaal sla je bij het café rechtsaf de Boslaan in waar het na het eerste knikje vals plat stijgt. Na de huizen wordt het steeds steiler waarna het bij de afslag licht daalt. Het zwaarste stuk is na het vlakke deel tot aan de T met de Spitaelslaan.

Mooie klim, maar de alternatieve via de Trompstraat is uitdagender.
