Tips from the Community
Nice climb of about 1km long. The wind can blow strongly against you (and very occasionally in your favor).

Big water lift / lock on the river Dender. Just before it joins the Schelde. You can cross the river here, but there will be some stairs to climb. ;)

The Hoogpoort Castle is a castle in the Flemish Brabant town of Asse, located at Hoogpoort 6-8. On the Figurative Map of the goods of 't hoff te Vrythout ende de hooge Poorte from 1718, there is mention of a prominent country house. In 1749, the property was owned by Barbara Leyniers. In 1831, the house, together with the surrounding 34 ha, was owned by Joseph Leyniers. His widow sold it in 1840 to notary Joseph Crick. He enlarged the property to 177 ha and also acquired the IJzenbeekmolen. Around 1860, he had most of the buildings of Hoogpoort demolished and probably only the old country house was preserved. He died in 1876 and his son, Prosper Crick, renovated and enlarged this house in the early 1890s. In 1905, the estate came to René Florin. In 1908, he had a neoclassical castle built near the old house. This was surrounded by a forest of 4.5 ha and the straight paths were converted into winding paths. The forest is home to woodbine, wild garlic and woodloosifolia. It is this castle that still exists. ( https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kasteel_Hoogpoort )
