Houterveld via Wisselstraat

At just 0.6km, Houterveld via Wisselstraat is short but deceptively intense — 25m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. Averaging 4.5%, the road kicks to 9% at its steepest — a notable steepening that demands respect. It's over before the legs know what happened — a short, explosive effort where momentum is everything. Located in Flanders, Belgium.
