Lots of vegetation during the climb, which makes it pleasant to cycle. Good asphalt and little traffic, but very short and blind to turn on from the bicycle path at the foot of Sombeke, so not immediately suitable to want to set records. Once at the top, have a good look around. The sloping open landscape makes you think of more exotic places.... read more

A nice green climb over a good tarmac road. Short but as you don't get any momentum at the start you will have to pedal everything.

Een leuk groen klimmetje over een goed asfaltweggetje. Kort maar omdat je geen vaart meekrijgt bij het begin zal je wel alles moeten trappen.

1 of Cuesta's nicer climbs of the Waasland region. Short and powerful at the start, beautiful scenery when you get to the top. I turned up it coming from Waasmunster. Then you have a good overview because you have to cross the road first.

1 van de mooiere klimmetjes van Cuesta van het Waasland. Kort en krachtig in het begin, mooi landschap als je boven bent. Ik draaide hem op komende van Waasmunster. Dan heb je een goed overzicht want je moet eerst de weg oversteken.

I agree with the previous reviews: this is definitely one of the nicest climbs of the Cuesta! Because in a flat region like this there is not much else to climb, I will raise the average score a bit!

Ik sluit me aan bij de vorige reviews: hoort zeker bij de leukste klimmetjes van de Cuesta! Omdat er in een vlakke streek als deze verder niet veel te klimmen valt, zal ik de gemiddelde score wat omhoog trekken!

One of my favourite climbs on the Cuesta, fairly steep start and still has a bit of an offshoot which is not indicated here.

Eén van mijn lievelingsklimmetjes op de Cuesta, redelijk steil begin en heeft toch nog iet of wat van een uitloper wat hier niet staat aangegeven.

Veel begroeiing tijdens het klimmetje, wat het aangenaam fietsen maakt. Goede asfalt en weinig verkeer, maar wel zeer kort en blind op te draaien vanaf het fietspad aan de voet vanuit Sombeke, dus niet meteen geschikt om recordjes te willen zetten. Eens je boven bent, goed rondkijken. Het glooiende open landschap doet je even denken aan exotischer oorden.
