Gradual climb in the Hill Country with a few firmer sections, but mostly constant pace riding. It is not an extremely tough climb, but pleasant with nice views and a smooth road. Often used as a warm-up towards the Kemmelberg.... read more

Geleidelijke klim in het Heuvelland met een paar stevigere stroken, maar vooral constant tempo rijden. Het is geen extreem zware beklimming, maar wel aangenaam met mooi uitzicht en een vlotte weg. Vaak gebruikt als opwarming richting de Kemmelberg.

Not a very difficult climb, unless it's only an approach to Kemmelberg. After you reach the crossing, you can spped up cause you've passed the highest gradient already.

Evenly ascending climb with fantastic views. Unfortunately, you do encounter traffic at times. From the top, you are at the start of the Kemmelberg cobbles in no time.

Gelijkmatig oplopende klim met een fantastisch uitzicht. Je komt er jammer genoeg wel soms verkeer tegen. Van aan de top ben je zo bij de start van de kasseien van de Kemmelberg.

A climb that sets the scene for the Kemmel, taking us up into an atmosphere surrounded by vegetation. This is one of my favourite variants of the Kemmel.

Une montée qui prépare le terrain pour le Kemmel, nous faisant grimper dans une atmosphère entourée de végétation. C'est l'une de mes variantes préférées du Kemmel.

De beste uitzichten vind je hier, uitkijken over het grensgebied tussen Vlaanderen en Frankrijk. Helaas wel een relatief drukke weg.

Starting in Dranouter, you'll have the toughest part at the beginning of the climb. You end up on a plateau where you have a beautiful view on the vineyards of the Monteberg. At the top you can go straight to the foot of the Kemmelberg.

Vanuit Dranouter heb je het stevigste stuk in het begin van de klim. Je komt uit op een plateau waar je prachtig zicht hebt op de wijngaarden van de Monteberg. Aan de top kan je rechtdoor naar de voet van de Kemmelberg.
