Nice climb in two parts. Towards kilometer 1 it rises slowly with eventually a steep section. After this it levels off and around kilometer 1½ there is another steep section through the forest. At the end it flattens out again. If you are in the area definitely take this climb. ... read more

Leuke klim in twee delen. Richting kilometer 1 loopt het langzaam op met uiteindelijk een steil stuk. Hierna vlakt het af en volgt rond kilometer 1½ weer een steil stukje door het bos. Aan het einde vlakt het dan weer af. Ben je in de buurt deze klim dan zeker meenemen.

Nice climb: quiet, a stretch in the woods. My GPS said "climb completed" and then the steepest bit at the end was still to come. So some left for the last part!

Leuke klim: rustig, een stuk in de bossen. Mijn gps zei "klim afgerond" en dan moest het steilste stukje op het einde nog komen. Dus wat over houden voor het laatste deel!

Nice climb in two sections with some false flat alternating each time with a steeper kink. The beginning is a bit less attractive because of the houses, but once you get into the open space it is beautiful. Not difficult but nice little road.

Leuke klim in twee delen waarbij wat vals plat telkens wordt afgewisseld met een steiler knikje. Het begin is iets minder aantrekkelijk door de huizen, maar eens je in de open ruimte komt is het mooi. Niet moeilijk maar mooi weggetje.

Nice climb in two parts. First part between the houses rises slightly, once past the houses it rises steeply, strips above 10％. Then you come to a crossroads after which the second part of the climb along the forest begins. Again, it rises very slightly at first before getting steeper each time. At the end, you will be rewarded with a beautiful view over Ninove and the Dender valley.

Leuke klim in twee delen. Eerste deel tussen de huizen loopt lichtjes op, eens voorbij de huizen loopt het steil omhoog, stroken boven de 10％. Daarna kom je aan een kruispunt waarna het tweede deel van de beklimming langs het bos begint. Ook hier loopt het eerst zeer licht op om dan telkens steiler te worden. Op het einde wordt je beloond met een mooi uitzicht over Ninove en de Dendervallei.
