Quite a challenging climb despite the few points - but then you have to like cobbles and gravel because although the gravel is mostly rideable, there are some coarser sections in it too (so careful how you choose your line). Moreover, the steepest part is also in the gravel. On the other hand, the road has no through traffic (there is an obstacle) and is wonderfully quiet. After turning right, there is a stretch of asphalt and then a fine gravel bike path up to the summit.... read more

Best een uitdagende klim ondanks de weinig punten - maar dan moet je wel van kasseien en gravel houden want hoewel het gravel meestal goed te berijden is, zitten er ook enkele grovere stukken in (dus goed opletten hoe je je lijn kiest). Bovendien zit het steilste gedeelte ook in het gravel. Daar staat tegenover dat de weg geen doorgaand verkeer kent (er is een obstakel) en dat deze heerlijk rustig is. Na het rechtsaf slaan volgt een stuk asfalt en daarna een prima gravelfietspad tot de top.

First stretch is already bad as the climb opens on cobblestones. When you think you've had the worst of it, the next stretch consists of gravel, then loose sand and then loose pebbles.... So not to be taken on a racing bike. Rather take the side from Ruiter itself: good tarmac and nicer. Then again, the last bit of gravel is doable on a racing bike.

Eerste stuk is al slecht want de klim opent op kasseien. Als je denkt dat je het ergste gehad hebt, bestaat het volgende stuk uit gravel, dan los zand en dan losse steentjes.. Niet te nemen met een koersfiets dus. Neem liever de kant vanuit Ruiter zelf: goed asfalt en mooier. Het laatste stukje gravel is dan weer wel te doen met een koersfiets.

Very nice climb but as reteiP says Hollestraat is a bit worse, but if you like to ride over cobblestones and fine gravel like me (and you have a spare tyre with you) this is a nice one to do!

Zeer mooi klim maar zoals reteiP zegt is de Hollestraat er iets slechter aan toe, maar als je graag even over kasseien en fijne gravel rijdt zoals ik (en je hebt een reservebandje mee) is dit wel een leuke om te doen!

This is a climb from the MTB route Waasmunster 'Hollestraat', but then with the spur towards the woods where it goes on in a gravel piece.
With a normal racing bike is especially the Hollestraat not a good idea.

Dit is een klim uit de MTB route Waasmunster 'Hollestraat', maar dan met de uitloper richting bossen waar het nog even doorloopt in een gravel stuk.
Met een gewone koersfiets is vooral de Hollestraat geen goed idee.
