This slope is neither the most visual, nor the most charming, nor the most difficult, but it's still quite nice despite the fact that the path is just one long straight stretch. The surface is a little cracked on the first part of the climb. The percentages are fairly reasonable. Well, the problem with this Mont des Cats is that each side has its own arguments. But if you only have time to do one or two of them, I wouldn't recommend this one.... read more

Ce versant n’est ni le plus visuel, ni le plus charmant, ni le plus difficile mais il est tout de même assez chouette en dépit du fait que le chemin ne soit qu’une longue ligne droite.
Le revêtement est un peu esquinté sur la première partie de l’ascension. Les pourcentages sont assez sages.
Bon, le problème avec ce Mont des Cats, c’est que chaque versant a des arguments pour lui.
Mais, si vous n’avez le temps de n’en faire qu’un ou deux, je ne conseillerais pas celui-ci.

Less steep than the south side and a lot quieter than the main road from Godewaersvelde. A good option to ride up. It remains a fairly long climb though so not to be underestimated.

Minder steil dan de zuidkant en een pak rustiger dan de hoofdweg vanuit Godewaersvelde. Een goede optie om naar boven te rijden. Het blijft wel een vrij lange klim dus niet te onderschatten.

This side of the Katsberg is less demanding than the alternative from Godewaarsvelde. There is less traffic and the surroundings are greener. Only flaw is the road surface. The asphalt at the start of the slope is bad. Just before the top you have a nice view on the left. Just like at the top, right across the abbey.

Deze kant van de Katsberg is minder zwaar dan het alternatief vanuit Godewaarsvelde. Maar er is minder verkeer en de omgeving is groener. Enig minpunt is dat het wegdek. Het asfalt bij aanvang van de helling bolt slecht. Net voor de top heb je links een mooi uitzicht. Net als op de top, rechtover de abdij.
