Berg ten Houte isn't about grand vistas or tactical pacing; it’s a direct, rhythmic battle against the incline. While other climbs in the region offer moments of relief, this forest road in Maarkedal is a relentless push over perfectly laid cobbles. It’s a climb that strips cycling back to the basics: your tires against the stone, your lungs against the gradient. There are no tricks here—just a steady, punishing rise through the trees that rewards those who can hold their tempo until the very last meter.
