Definitely a must if you're in the area and you can go strong on your big plateau.
This was the playground of cyclocross icon Roland Liboton who was Belgian cyclocross champion for 10 years in a row in the 80s.
Het begin van deze beklimming stelt weinig of niets voor wat betreft klimpercentages maar wel een mooie natuur en uitzicht maar na 600 meter wanneer je van rechts het baantje van de Oudenberg vanuit Rillaar passeert wordt het wat steiler en rij je op een smalle uitgeholte baan tussen de bomen van een mooi bos . Opgelet juist voor het hoogste punt linksaf want anders heb he 100 meter verder een stukje onverharde weg wat er wel tamelijk goed bij ligt.
Zeker een aanrader als je in de buurt bent en je kan hier eens stevig doortrekken op je grote plateau.
Dit was de speeltuin van veldriticoon Roland Liboton die 10 jaar na elkaar Belgisch kampioen veldrijden was in de jaren 80.
