Short but tough climb from Opoeteren towards Wouterbos. The road immediately rises steeply and persists for a while. The short length makes it seem harmless, but the steepest part makes your legs burn for a while. It is mostly a quiet round trip through the forest and the residential area with little traffic and good asphalt. At the top you arrive at the end of the loop where it bulges out nicely.... read more

Korte maar pittige klim vanuit Opoeteren richting Wouterbos. De weg loopt meteen stevig omhoog en blijft even aanhouden. Door de korte lengte lijkt hij onschuldig, maar het steilste stuk laat je benen toch even branden. Het is vooral een rustig rondje door het bos en de villawijk met weinig verkeer en goed asfalt. Boven kom je uit bij het einde van de lus waar het mooi uitbolt.

A short but snappy climb through a green forest course that finishes quickly but is still fun to take in because of the steep section and quiet asphalt.

Een kort maar pittig klimmetje door een groen bosrondje dat snel klaar is maar door het steile stuk en het rustige asfalt toch leuk is om even mee te pakken.

Round the car park through a forest. Afterwards, you rejoin the N road you had just turned off.

Rondje om de parking door een bos. Nadien kom je weer uit op de N-weg die je net was afgeslagen.

Short but nice and steep climb through a beautiful green residential area (where because of the forest you see very little of the houses). Good tarmac. The end point is at a sort of roundabout. The approach route over the Zandstraat is scenically beautiful.

Kort maar wel lekker pittig klimmetje door een mooi groene villawijk (waarbij je vanwege het bos maar weinig van de huizen ziet). Goed asfalt. Het eindpunt ligt bij een soort rotondetje. De aanrijdroute over de Zandstraat is landschappelijk fraai.

Literally a short run through the woods. Nice to do if you're strength training.

Letterlijk een kort rondje door het bos. Leuk om een keer te doen als je met krachttraining bezig bent.
