Beautiful climb in 2 'stairs'. In the slightly descending part, you can catch your breath for the steeper part. The first part to the turn of the route the Boeschepe goes over a wide road. The last, steeper part goes over small roads in the green. At the top you have a nice view. Descending via Rue de la Montagne gives more views. After the Catsberg you can climb the Zwarte Berg, or via Westouter the Vidaigneberg or Rodeberg.... read more

Long, irregular climb in French Flanders that comes in two parts. First fairly open and straight, then you dive into the green and it gets more serious. Not a real killer, but due to the changing rhythm still trickier than it looks. Typical Heuvelland feeling just across the border.

Lange, onregelmatige klim in Frans-Vlaanderen die in twee delen komt. Eerst vrij open en recht, daarna duik je het groen in en wordt het serieuzer. Geen echte killer, maar door het wisselende ritme toch lastiger dan hij oogt. Typisch Heuvelland-gevoel net over de grens.

An irregular climb with occasional short serious sections.
I'm sure I'll appreciate the starting point in Goderswaersvelde, the village whose estaminets have made me love the North.
After that, it's a long straight stretch during which not much happens. Then you enter the forest, rediscover the abbey and wonder why the antenna is so big. At least up there you can post on Climbfinder: 5G with 4 bars!

Une montée irrégulière avec parfois de courts passages sérieux.
Je vais forcément apprécier le point de départ à Goderswaersvelde, le village dont les estaminets m’ont fait aimer le Nord.
Ensuite, c’est tout de même une longue ligne droite pendant laquelle il ne se passe pas grand chose. Puis, on entre dans la forêt, on redécouvre l’abbaye et on se demande pourquoi l’antenne est si grande. Au moins là haut, on peut-être poster sur Climbfinder : la 5G avec 4 barres !

Mooie klim in 2 'trappen'. In het licht dalende stuk, kan je even op adem komen voor het steilere gedeelte. Het eerste deel tot het opdraaien van de route de Boeschepe gaat over een brede weg. Het, laatste, steilere gedeelte gaat over kleine wegen in het groen. Boven heb je een mooi uitzicht. Afdalen via Rue de la Montagne geeft nog meerdere vergezichten. Na de Catsberg kan je de Zwarte berg, of via Westouter de Vidaigneberg of Rodeberg, beklimmen.
