Nice steep climb towards the end. The abbey is beautiful but not open to visitors. Nice views in places.

Belle montée assez raide vers la fin. L’abbaye est belle mais ne se visite pas. Belle vue par endroits.

Not convinced by this side of the road. The D18 is quite busy and there's nothing really exciting to see. The scenery is undeniably more exciting on the "Ruelle du Buisson version".
Here, the only difficulty lies at the end on the way to the abbey. I don't think this side is essential.

Pas convaincu par ce versant. La D18 est assez fréquentée et par ailleurs, on n’y croise rien de bien emballant. Les paysages sont incontestablement plus excitants sur « la version Ruelle du Buisson ».
Ici, la seule difficulté reste la fin sur le chemin de l’abbaye. Ce versant ne me semble pas indispensable.

Nice climb. You can see the transmitter mast from afar. Towards the end it gets steeper and steeper. In my opinion, the climb only stops next to the abbey at the restaurant. That's not much further, but still.

Mooie klim. De zendmast zie je al van verre. Naar het einde toe wordt hij steeds steiler. Mijns inziens stopt de klim pas naast de abdij bij het restaurant. Dat is niet veel verder, maar toch.

Nice climb but Katsberg is not in Belgium, but in France.

Mooie beklimming maar Katsberg ligt niet in Belgie, wel in Frankrijk.
