It's not the hardest, but the Muziekbos is a lovely climb. Snaking up from the main westerly road into Brakel just along from the often-used Kanarieberg (which is on the Flanders route this year), the Muziekbos is a road that would struggle to fit a car onto it, and winds its way up to a cafe in a wood at the top. Charming.
