Steep but relatively short ascent with an initially reasonable gradient, which quickly reaches the 2-digit percentage range. The road surface in the residential area towards Büsvach is fine. Recommended together with Dickenbruch and Jordansberg.
Steiler aber relativ kurzer Anstieg mit zunächst humaner Steigung, welche jedoch rasch im 2-stelligen Prozent-Bereich liegt. Der Strassenbelag im Wohngebiet Richtung Büsvach ist in Ordnung. Zusammen mit Dickenbruch und Jordansberg empfehlenswert.
A relaxed warm-up at first, then after turning off we head into a wall that remains very steep until the end. Although this is a relatively unattractive area for cycling, the steep slopes mean that you only have to concentrate on climbing anyway.
Zunächst ein entspanntes Aufwärmen, nach dem Abbiegen geht es in eine Mauer die bis zum Ende hin sehr steil bleibt. Zwar ein relativ unattraktives Gebiet zum Radfahren, die steilen Hänge sorgen aber eh dafür dass man sich nur auf das Klettern konzentrieren muss.
A short climb in two steps and quite steep. At the top of the steep section, there is a 15％ sign and that is certainly correct. There is also a sign saying "no bicycles allowed", but that is only for the descent.
The climb starts relatively easy but after the left turn it goes up immediately, and quite a bit. The road (with good tarmac) continues to rise sharply until the junction. After that the percentage decreases but remains steep until the end.
All in all a good climb in the built-up area of Stolberg. A detour is not worth it but in combination with the other (extremely) steep climbs in the immediate vicinity you can have fun here.
Een korte klim in twee stappen en behoorlijk heftig. Bovenaan het steile gedeelte staat een bord met 15％ en dat klopt zeker. Er staat ook een bord "verboden voor fietsers" maar dat is alleen voor het afdalen.
De klim begint relatief relaxed maar na de bocht naar links gaat het meteen omhoog, en flink ook. De weg (met prima asfalt) blijft sterk stijgen tot de kruising. Daarna neemt het percentage af maar blijft pittig tot het einde.
Al met al een prima klimmetje in de bebouwde kom van Stolberg. Een omweg is het niet waard maar in combinatie met de andere (extreem) steile klimmen in de directe omgeving kan je hier je lol wel op.
