Volkegemberg with an alternative spur. Beautiful scenery from the moment you turn down the cobbles after the first part. Road surface is not perfect but totally no traffic in the second part.... read more

De Volkegemberg met een alternatieve uitloper. Mooie omgeving vanaf je de kasseien na het eerste deel afdraait. Wegdek is niet perfect maar totaal geen verkeer in het tweede deel.

More pleasant alternative to Volkegemberg where you descend briefly and then go up false flat. With this, you skip the cobblestones you are presented with via the traditional way. The climb itself is beautiful. First a steep section before coming around the cobblestones to a nice square. You turn right and the road winds through greenery.

Aangenamer alternatief voor de Volkegemberg waarbij je even daalt om daarna nog even vals plat omhoog te gaan. Je slaat hiermee de kasseien over die je via de traditionele manier voorgeschoteld krijgt. De beklimming zelf is mooi. Eerst een steil stuk om daarna om de kasseitjes te komen op een mooi plein. Je slaat rechts in en de weg slingert zich doorheen het groen.

Very nice climb - better alternative than the traditional Volkegemberg, where you get to the top on the nasty cobblestones of the Holleweg. You take in the first and tricky part of the traditional climb, then you turn right and it's downhill for a bit - after that it still rises reasonably well. Last part is very quiet and beautiful scenery. Nice!

Heel mooie beklimming - beter alternatief dan de traditionele Volkegemberg, waar je boven komt op de vervelende kasseien van de Holleweg. Je neemt het eerste en lastige deel mee van de traditionele beklimming, daarna sla je rechtsaf en is het een stukje naar beneden - daarna loopt het toch nog redelijk op. Laatste deel is zeer rustig en een mooie omgeving. Mooi!
