This climb is absolutely NOT RECOMMENDED for cyclists. The Valkenburg (Houthem) MTB route also takes this climb and for a reason; this climb is thus only suitable for gravel bikes and MTB's. Therefore only 1 star.

Deze klim is absoluut AF TE RADEN voor wielrenners. De Valkenburg (Houthem) MTB route neemt deze klim ook en voor een reden; deze klim is dus enkel geschikt voor gravelfietsen en MTB's. Daarom maar 1 ster.

The road surface is terrible, but the plateau where you eventually reach the top is totally worth it.

Het wegdek is verschrikkelijk, maar het plateau waar je uiteindelijk boven komt is het helemaal waard.

Although the first part runs alongside the motorway, you don't notice it much and ride uphill on a car-free road through nice surroundings. Further on, the tarmac ends at the left-hand bend near a castle and the road changes into a sometimes rough gravel road with a considerable rise in the forest. After turning left and then right, a route through open agricultural land follows. At the fifth junction, turn left to quickly join the asphalt again.

Hoewel het eerste deel langs de snelweg loopt, merk je daar weinig van en rijdt je over een autovrij weggetje door een leuke omgeving omhoog. Verderop houdt in de haakse bovht naar links bij een kasteel het asfalt op en gaat de weg over in een soms wat grove gravelweg waarbij het in het bos behoorlijk oploopt. Na links- en daarna rechtsaf te zijn geslagen volgt een route door open agrarisch gebied. Op de 5-sprong schuin links om weer snel op asfalt uit te komen.
