You don't get here by accident. Goes along a little road that ends up on the same road as it leaves so there is no through traffic. This does make it fun to do. No traffic, through the field and then at the end a short interval over the cobbles to the 'top'.... read more

Je komt hier niet per ongeluk. Gaat over een wegje dat op dezelfde weg uitkomt als het vertrekt dus er is geen doorgaand verkeer. Dit maakt het wel leuk om te doen. Geen verkeer, door het veld en dan op het eind een kort interval over de kasseitjes tot aan de 'top'.

Nice warming-up before you start on the Flemish Ardennes. It used to be a real gem with the bad cobblestones but unfortunately they have been renewed.

Leuke opwarmer voor je aan de Vlaamse Ardennen begint. Vroeger was het een echt pareltje met de slecht liggende kasseien maar die hebben ze jammer genoeg vernieuwd.

A real aperitif for those who want to taste the Flemish Ardennes. Nice location. Attention: turn left at the top and not straight on, otherwise you have to cross the cemetery past the church.

Een echt aperitiefhapje voor wie van de Vlaamse Ardennen wil proeven. Aardige ligging. Opgelet: boven naar links en niet rechtdoor, anders moet je over het kerkhof langs de kerk.

The cobblestones are soft but okay. Nice to test your power on the cobbles before you head to the Flemish Ardennes.

De kasseien liggen er bol maar oke bij. Leuk om je power op de kasseien eens te testen voor je de Vlaamse Ardennen intrekt.
