Bad cobblestones, but nice feeling. Uphill on power, lasts only a few moments. Fun for the cobblestone feeling, left if not a fan.... read more

Bad cobblestones, but nice feeling. Uphill on power, lasts only a few moments. Fun for the cobblestone feeling, left if not a fan.

Slechte kasseien, maar leuk gevoel. Op power naar boven, duurt slechts enkele momenten. Leuk voor het kasseigevoel, links laten liggen indien geen liefhebber.

Short but powerful. You can take a good run-up to fly on it though

Kort maar krachtig. Je kan wel een goede aanloop nemen om er op te vliegen

In itself, not very difficult. The cobbles are such that you can lose your momentum quickly, especially if there is a headwind, but it's over pretty quickly. Good warm-up on the way to Heuvelland.

Op zich niet heel moeilijk. De kasseien zijn wel zo dat je je vaart snel kan kwijt raken, zeker als er tegenwind is, maar het is vrij snel voorbij. Goede opwarmer opweg naar het Heuvelland.

Nice if you are a starting cyclist and want to get acquainted with a cobblestone climb. It is also (as far as I know) the only one in the region. For the rest not so special.

Leuk als je als beginnend fietser eens wil kennismaken met een kasseiklimmetje. Het is ook (voor zover ik weet) de enige in de regio. Verder niet zo speciaal.
