In January 2022, there is a sign at the beginning of this climb that the road is not accessible, and further up there are fences, but an exception is made (at the fences) for cyclists. Almost at the top, the left side of the road has disappeared but there is still plenty of road left. You can see beautifully into the depth.
About the climb: You first ride into a beautiful valley on a gently rising road. Beautiful surroundings here. After the turnoff for Castle Altenbroek the road goes into a deep side valley and the road surface changes from asphalt to a coarse concrete-like surface that most resembles rock hard gravel. The percentage does go up nicely here and the valley sometimes comes into view on the left. Just before the end, the (flatter) road becomes an asphalt road again. A nice climb but there are nicer ones in this area.

The first section is concrete mixed with packed dirt, a bit rough but still very much doable on a road bike. The second, upper part, is asphalt (directly from the border upwards). The side of the road roughly 2/3's of the way up has washed away in the storms of july 2021 but there are fences bordering that part of.

In short: a fun ascent through the forest!

nice climb, but all unpaved. bad for a bike. within a few hnoderd meters one of us had a flat tire. then the rest of the piece walked. for mountain bikers very nice.

Then unfortunately you have done the wrong climb. Probably the Snauwenberg which runs parallel to Altenbroek.

The climb quietly runs through the valley of the Noorbeek River, until after a left turn the road suddenly winds up steeply between the trees. Welcome cooling down on this hot day (evening ride still 28 degrees) in the shadow of first the steep hill next to the road and then the trees.
The road surface is bad, especially in the flatter first part with many holes.

For a change of scenery the Altenbroek is not so bad. Especially on a hot day with the sun burning, this climb is a good place to cross the border because you're cycling in the shade of the trees. The road surface is a bit of a strange weathered concrete one on the Flemish side. As soon as you enter The Netherlands it suddenly becomes nice tarmac :)

Excellent and wonderfully quiet crossing of the Voerstreek to South-Limburg. Road surface is not really good at the bottom of the climb, but still doable.

The asphalt is reasonably ok, even as a descent.
As with Schophemerheide, Ulvend, Gieveld, Beusdael castle are all better ways to get from Belgium to the Netherlands.
