If you are a real 'cobblestone rider' you can definitely get your enjoyment here. For me personally, the climb was fun and doable (by road bike) but if I visit here again I might still opt for my gravel bike. The downside is that you first have to descend the bad cobbles of the Keierberg before you can climb Platijn. If you're really not into cobbles then yes, it's better to stay away, especially as they're not in the best shape :)... read more

Als je een echte 'kasseivreter' bent kan je hier zeker je plezier halen. Voor mij persoonlijk was de klim wel leuk en goed te doen (met de racefiets) maar als ik nog eens langs hier kom opteer ik misschien toch mijn gravelbike. Nadeel is dat je eerst de slechte kasseien van de Keierberg moet afdalen alvorens je Platijn kan beklimmen. Als je echt niets hebt met kasseien dan blijf je inderdaad beter weg, zeker omdat ze er niet al te best bij liggen :)

Absolutely to be avoided! The cobbles are terrible, but especially the descent on cobbles before you start the slope is life-threatening. My water bottle fell out and broke leaving me without a drink, but another lucky thing it didn't get caught between my wheels. I will never come back here again.

Absoluut te mijden! De kasseien liggen vreselijk, maar vooral de afdaling op kasseien vóór je aan de helling begint is levensgevaarlijk. Mijn bidon viel eruit en brak waardoor ik zonder drinken kwam te zitten, maar nog een geluk dat hij niet tussen mijn wielen terecht kwam. Ik kom hier nooit meer terug.

I did it once, but you won't see me back on this road soon. The cobbles are in a bad way! You can try in vain to find the gutter, but every time you have to go back up the cobblestones.

Heb deze 1 keer gedaan, maar mij zie je niet rap terug op deze weg. Wat liggen die kasseien daar slecht! Je kan tevergeefs proberen het gootje op te zoeken maar je moet telkens terug die rotkasseien op.
