Found this side less attractive than the 'Berten' variant. More building towards the end and then there is then wall where everyone has the same feeling: stomping for your life....... read more

The Rossignol path is rather wise and shy. The cemetery lane is terrible. I'm absolutely certain that the final percentage is much higher than the 14％ advertised!
I discover the comments of the other cyclists: they seem to attest to this too.
"Trampling to keep from dying"!
Yes, it's a wall!

It's a very interesting slope. You arrive at the foot of this gigantic relay antenna, which has the luxury of being taller than the Eiffel Tower. The Mont des Cats also has a very special atmosphere, especially at the end of the day.

Le chemin du Rossignol est plutôt sage et timide. La ruelle du cimetière est terrible. Je suis absolument certain que le pourcentage final est bien supérieur aux 14％ annoncés !
Je découvre les commentaires des autres cyclistes : ils semblent l’attester aussi.
« Piétiner pour ne pas mourir « !
Oui, c’est un mur !

Il est très intéressant ce versant. on arrive au pied de cette gigantesque antenne relais qui se permet le luxe d’être plus haute que la Tour Eiffel. Et puis, sur ce Mont des Cats, il y a vraiment une atmosphère particulière, surtout en fin de journée.

Vond deze zijde minder aantrekkelijk dan de 'Berten' variant. Meer bebouwing naar het einde toe en dan is er dan muurtje waar iedereen hetzelfde gevoel heeft: stampen voor je leven...

From the main road turn right and before the house turn right again. At the top of the steepest part, you can see the television tower. The road then turns left in the direction of the abbey.

Inderdaad een mooie klim, Vanaf de doorgaande weg moet je rechts en voor het huis weer rechts aanhouden. Bovenaan het steilste stuk is de televisietoren te zien. De weg gaat vervolgens naar links in de richting van de abdij.

Personally I find the best way to climb the Katsberg, especially the last part via the Ruelle du Cimetière. It's a bit tricky to find this street, but once you're there it goes up very steep along the cemetery. It's only a few dozen meters long, but I've seen several friends die on it, you wouldn't expect this after the long gradual climb! Great fun!

Vind ik persoonlijk de leukste kant om de Katsberg te beklimmen, vooral dan het laatste stukje via de Ruelle du Cimetière. Het is goed uitkijken om dit straatje te vinden, maar eens je hier zit gaat het supersteil omhoog langs het kerkhof. Het is maar enkele tientallen meters lang, maar ik heb er al verschillende vrienden goed op zien sterven, je verwacht dit niet na de lange geleidelijke klim die voorbij is! Dolle pret!
