As you approach the climb, you already see a lot of trees on a hill, the hamlet of Heikant.
At the start, you have to enter a very narrow street, which you almost pass.
The first part of the climb is a lot of turning and turning. Then some downhill. I don't really think this first part is part of the climb.
Then you turn left into the Holleweg. A quiet road consisting of well-laid cobblestones in a residential area. You ride all the time under the leaves of the trees.
First part of the Holleweg goes up steadily. At the crossroads, you then take the Holleweg further. There you can see the summit in the distance with another serious kink.
I had already gone fairly full on the first section and got very hard on this last part. But nowhere too steep so that you come to a standstill. After that steepest kink comes another small kink and then I was happy to be at the top.

In itself not a really difficult slope. "Wall" is certainly an exaggeration, especially compared to other "walls" such as the "Wall of Wezemaal" nearby.

Bij het aanrijden naar de klim zie je al heel wat bomen op een heuvel, het gehucht Heikant.
In het begin moet je een heel smal straatje in, dat je bijna voorbijrijdt.
Het eerste gedeelte van de klim is heel wat draaien en keren. Dan nog wat afdaling. Dit eerste gedeelte vind ik niet echt bij de klim horen.
Dan rijd je links de Holleweg in. Een rustig wegje bestaande uit goed liggende klinkers in een villawijk. Je rijdt de hele tijd onder de bladeren van de bomen.
Eerste gedeelte van de Holleweg gaat gestaag omhoog. Aan het kruispunt neem je dan verder de Holleweg. Daar zie je in de verte de top liggen met nog een serieuze knik.
Ik was al redelijk voluit gegaan op het eerste gedeelte en kreeg het heel moeilijk op dit laatste stuk. Maar nergens te steil zodat je stilvalt. Na die steilste knik komt er nog een klein knikje en dan was ik blij dat ik boven was.

Op zich geen echt moeilijke helling. "Muur" is zeker overdreven, zeker in vergelijking met andere "muren" zoals de "Muur van Wezemaal" in de buurt.

The approach via a narrow wooded alley is very quiet, there's little to no traffic. The road surface is good, but at some places they have installed large (drainage) grids across the road. Watch out here, because a flat tire can be an unpleasant surprise.

The last part of the climb is steep, but the term 'wall' is rather generous.

De aanloop via een smalle beboste steeg is zeer rustig, je komt er amper tot geen verkeer tegen. Het wegdek is goed, maar op sommige plaatsen hebben ze grote (afwaterings)roosters dwars over de weg ingeplant. Uitkijken is hier de boodschap, want een lekke band kan je hier wel eens onaangenaam verrassen.

Het laatste stuk van de klim is steil, maar de term "muur" is eerder genereus.

Nice to do and the last 150 m are a real wall. It is sometimes the last detour I make on the way back when I am almost home to make some extra altitude meters.
The road is alternately narrow and somewhat wider.

Leuk om eens te doen en de laatste 150 m zijn een echte muur. Het is soms een laatste ommetje dat ik maak in de terugweg als ik bijna thuis ben voor wat extra hoogtemeters te maken.
De weg is afwisselend smal en wat breder .
