Yes, Maikel's right, the fun starts on the cobbled sector and it's one of the best routes to Mont Cassel. The cobbles aren't as nasty as those on the Trouée d'Arenberg, but they still pack a serious punch. Some sections have been resurfaced, but this is barely noticeable on the bike. The gradients are fairly gentle. This slope offers a pleasant passage under the trees, a few eye-catching buildings and a very fine finish in Cassel. Yes, it's worth doing. ... read more

Oui, il a raison, Maikel, le plaisir démarre sur le secteur pavé et c’est un des meilleurs chemins pour le Mont Cassel.
Les pavés sont moins méchants que ceux de la Trouée d’Arenberg, mais ils tabassent tout de même sérieusement. Certains tronçons ont été refaits mais c’est à peine perceptible à vélo.
Les pourcentages sont assez doux. Ce versant propose un agréable passage sous les arbres, quelques bâtisses qui réjouissent les yeux et une très belle arrivée à Cassel.
Oui, à faire.

This is my favourite way to drive up in Kassel. You come from the route d'oudezeele, a nice road with little traffic. Just watch out to cross the main road. Then the fun begins. It only goes up 4％ but the cobbles are very uneven and take all the momentum away. Very occasionally you come across some asphalt and you think the cobbles are done, nothing could be further from the truth. It is always a nice feeling when you drive through the gate into the market.

Dit is mijn favoriete manier om naar boven te rijden in Kassel. Je komt vanuit de route d'oudezeele, een mooie weg met weinig verkeer. Even uitkijken om de grote weg over te steken. Daarna begint het plezier. Het loopt maar 4％ omhoog maar de kasseien zijn heel onrgelmatig en nemen alle vaart weg. Heel af ten toe kom je wat asfalt tegen en denk je dat de kasseien gedaan zijn, niets is minder waar. Het is altijd een leuk gevoel als je door de poort de markt op rijdt.

The cobbles get progressively worse the closer you get to Kassel market, but nevertheless this climb is super cool to have done once. The road is wide throughout and when I rode it there was virtually no traffic.

De kasseien worden progressief slechter hoe dichter je bij de markt van Kassel komt, maar desalniettemin is deze klim wel super tof om eens gedaan te hebben. De weg is overal breed en toen ik er reed was er zo goed als geen verkeer.

Nice climb on real French pavés (cobbles), not overly hard and the cobbles are in reasonable shape. Kassel, or Cassel in French, is a truly authentic Franco-Flemish town that you should definitely have visited in this beautiful region.

Leuke klim op echte Franse pavés (kasseien), niet overdreven zwaar en de kasseien liggen er redelijk bij. Kassel of in het Frans Cassel is een echt authentiek Frans-Vlaams stadje dat men in deze prachtige streek zeker eens moet bezocht hebben.

The climb starts with pavement at the foot of the mountain making the percentage of climb harder to manage but still doable even for a beginner.

La montée commence par du pave des le pied du mont rendant le pourcentage de dénivelé plus dur a gérer mais reste faisable même pour un débutant.
