In the village of Horpmaal, which is part of Heers, we find Op de Kriezel, a 1,500m long cobblestone strip and guarantee for the toughest cobblestone passage in the province. In the past, the strip even extended to the language border and was twice as long. On the Kriezel you can compare with the more famous Lange Munte. The cobblestones are on the small side and there are subsidence in the road surface everywhere. It is a solid piece of false flat, by the way, with an average of 3% rise. The wind often has free play here, because there is no shelter possible. This often causes cracks in the peloton. It's also a nice stretch to test the legs or shake the tree.

Sturdy and has an ascending cobblestone strip that is not in the best shape.
The cobblestones are not as big as the known cobblestones of the Tour of Flanders, so docking feels a little less heavy.
