The perfect alternative to climbing the Kemmelberg if you are not a fan of cobbles. I give both the cobbled side and this one 5 stars because of the setting, the gradients and the recognisability of the races run here. Indeed, this side is often used as the downhill but is definitely worth climbing too. The start in the Beukelaarstraat is already very beautiful and once you come between the trees in the Klokhofweg it certainly can't be beat. Just pay attention at the intersection with Letti... read more

Nice alternative ascent of the Kemmelberg, also known as Cotacol 'Kemmelberg-zuid (#432). Traffic-free road with good road surface; halfway you have to cross the busier Lettingstraat, after which you enter an even narrower alley where no cars are allowed. The climb then picks up considerably with some cornering after which you reach the top.

Mooie alternatieve beklimming van de Kemmelberg, ook bekend als Cotacol 'Kemmelberg-zuid (#432). Verkeersluwe weg met goed wegdek; halverwege moet je wel de drukkere Lettingstraat oversteken, waarna je een nog smaller steegje induikt waar geen autoverkeer toegestaan is. De klim trekt dan nog even flink aan met wat bochtenwerk waarna je de top bereikt.

Nice climb through greenery and beautiful surroundings, good asphalt and gradual ascent. Steep bits come later, so keep some energy for the last part. Fine alternative for those who want to avoid the cobblestones.

Leuke klim door groen en mooie omgeving, goed asfalt en geleidelijke stijging. Steile stukjes komen later, dus hou wat energie over voor het laatste stuk. Fijn alternatief voor wie de kasseien wil vermijden.

A magnificent climb that has been unfairly overlooked. The difficulties are real and it's fun to outwit them. Remember to keep your strength up for the last 200 metres. 5 stars without hesitation. I was lucky enough to do this climb in splendid weather. The route is pleasant and the scenery exceptional.

Magnifique montée injustement négligée. Les difficultés sont réelles et c’est agréable de les déjouer. Pensez à conserver des forces pour les 200 derniers mètres. 5 étoiles sans hésitation. J’ai eu la chance de faire cette montée avec une météo splendide. La route est agréable et le paysage exceptionnel.

Het perfecte alternatief om de Kemmelberg te beklimmen als je geen fan bent van kasseien. Ik geef zowel de kant met de kasseien als deze 5 sterren omwille van de omgeving, de stijgingspercentages en de herkenbaarheid van de koersen die hier gereden worden. Deze kant wordt inderdaad vaak gebruikt als de afdaling maar is zeker ook de moeite om te beklimmen. De start in de Beukelaarstraat is al heel mooi en zodra je tussen de bomen komt in de Klokhofweg kan het zeker niet meer stuk. Juist even opletten op het kruispunt met de Lettingstraat. Hou zeker ook nog wat energie over voor de laatste 200 meter!

In principe de afdaling maar wel de klim met het mooiste uitzicht op de valei terwijl je paar 'haarspeldbochtjes' neemt. Best aangenaam met ook steile stukken in.

The only climb in Flanders where I didn't get on top. I just couldn't get my pedals to turn and my heart rate was at 193, really hard.

De enige beklimming in Vlaanderen waar ik niet bovengeraakt ben. Het lukte me gewoon niet om mijn pedalen nog rond te krijgen en mijn hartslag zat op 193 echt verschrikkelijk zwaar
