A well-maintained bicycle path separated by a concrete wall from a busy dual carriageway where motorised traffic passes at 90 km per hour. That is the best way to describe this stretch of chequerboard. Do yourself a big favour: avoid this stretch at all costs. There are much nicer alternatives for crossing the road from Aarschot to Nieuwrode.... read more

Goed onderhouden fietspad door een betonwand gescheiden van een drukke tweevaksbaan waar gemotoriseerd verkeer aan 90 km per uur voorbijdenderd. Zo kan je deze strook valsplat het best beschrijven.

Doe jezelf een groot plezier: mijd deze strook ten allen tijde. Er zijn veel fraaiere alternatieven om vanuit Aarschot de doorsteek richting Nieuwrode te maken.

Quite a long drop dead end road or better bike path next to a busy 2 × 2 lane road. The bike path is very well separated from the road but because of that it doesn't look very nice.
You never have to leave the big plateau but the last few hundred meters it rises a bit more.
Sometimes I take this slope when leaving the towpath between Betekom and Aarschot to cycle towards Houwaart or Aarschot.
But in the close surroundings there are much nicer and more challenging alternatives like the Liedeberg and the Gelrodeweg from Gelrode.

Best een lang valsplat oplopende weg of beter fietspad naast een drukke 2 × 2 rijvaksbaan. Het fietspad is wel zeer goed afgescheiden van de weg maar daardoor oogt het niet zo fraai.
Je hoeft hier nooit van de grote plateau maar de laatste honderden meters stijgt het wel iets meer.
Soms neem ik deze helling als ik tussen Betekom en Aarschot het jaagpad verlaat om richting Houwaart of Aarschot te fietsen.
Maar in de dichte omgeving zijn veel mooiere en uitdagender alternatieven zoals de Liedeberg en de Gelrodeweg vanuit Gelrode.
