Great climb. The first part gets you going and gradually reveals a bit of the landscape, then there's a bend to the left where you suddenly discover a superb panorama to your left over the region to the south. This is followed by a short descent to reach the decisive part of the climb, a terrible steep section that stings but is great fun!... read more

Super montée. Le début met en jambe et permet de découvrir petit à petit un peu de paysage, puis vient un virage à gauche où on découvre d'un coup un superbe panorama à notre gauche sur la région au Sud. S'en suit une petite descente pour arriver à la partie décisive de la montée, un terrible raidillon qui pique mais qui fait plaisir !

I remained focused on the "Ruelle du cimetière" slope, but I have to admit that the Ruelle du Buisson is no joke either. The Chemin du Rossignol is a gentle harbinger of what's to come: a nice little steep climb. There's a lot of pedalling on this slope and everyone arrives out of breath.
I still think that the end of the cemetery version is much steeper.
In any case, this side is also worth doing.

Je restais focalisé sur le versant « Ruelle du cimetière » mais je reconnais que la Ruelle du Buisson ne plaisante pas non plus. Le Chemin du Rossignol vous annonce doucement ce qui va suivre : un bon petit raidillon. Ça pédale beaucoup sur ce versant et tout le monde arrive essoufflé.
Je persiste à penser que la fin de la version cimetière est nettement plus abrupte.
En tout cas, ce côté là est aussi à faire.

One of many ways up the Katsberg but is probably the most difficult. It starts out quite easy through the field, but once you cross the field it only gets harder. You make 2 sharp turns only to suddenly ride straight up, this section is really tough. During the climb you don't really have a view but if you drive around a bit at the top you will find a view. There is also an abbey to visit.

Een van de vele manieren om de Katsberg op te rijden maar is waarschijnlijk de moeilijkste. Het begint vrij makkelijk doorheen het veld, maar eens je het veld bent over gestoken wordt het alleen nog maar moeilijker. Je maakt 2 scherpe bochten om daarna plots recht naar boven te rijden, dit stuk is echt zwaar. Tijdens het klimmen heb je niet echt een uitzicht maar als boven wat rond rijdt vind je wel een uitzicht. Er is ook een abdij om te bezichtigen.

When making my route for cycling weekend, I hesitated for a while which side we would climb the Katsberg but I certainly did not regret the choice. You start between the fields at a moderate gradient and you can already see the violence looming in the distance. Definitely don't underestimate the last 600 metres. These are really tough! At the top, you won't have an immediate panoramic view but that's not a requirement. The steep percentages are an experience in themselves.

Bij het maken van mijn route voor fietsweekend even getwijfeld welke kant we de Katsberg zouden beklimmen maar ik heb zeker geen spijt van deze keuze. Je begint tussen de velden aan een matig stijgingspercentage en in de verte kan je het geweld al zien opdoemen. Onderschat zeker de laatste 600 meter niet. Deze zijn echt wel pittig! Boven heb je niet meteen een weids uitzicht maar dat is geen vereiste. De Steile percentages zijn al een beleving op zich.
