Beautiful climb. Asphalt really perfect. Didn't encounter any traffic the whole climb.
Once you are past the houses it is nice and steady.

Mooie klim. Asfalt echt perfect. Geen verkeer tegengekomen de hele klim.
Zodra je voorbij de woningen bent is het mooi lopend en regelmatig.

Beautiful climb, first with view on Welscheid through the trees and after the forest part a flattening part through the meadows. If you want to do an (almost) impossible climb, cut off the first hairpin bend and take 'Kuesselt' with gradients around 30%.

Prachtige klim, eerst met uitzicht op Welscheid door de bomen en na het stuk bos een afvlakkend gedeelte door de weides. Als je een (bijna) onmogelijke klim wilt doen, snij je de eerste haarspeldbocht af en pak je 'Kuesselt' met stijgingspercentages rond de 30%.

That shortcut is indeed a very steep wall. After 100km in the legs I took the hairpin bends ;)

Dat afsnij stukje is inderdaad een vreselijk steile muur. Na 100km in de benen toch maar de haarspeldbochten gepakt ;)

The Bourscheid region is a great place to cycle. Very nice roads, many of them reserved for bikes or local traffic. Very beautiful landscapes too. I really recommend to pass through the area. After a few hundred meters of ascent, you can see on the right the pretty village of Welscheid with its church. A change of scenery guaranteed.

La région de Bourscheid est un endroit idéal pour faire du vélo. Très belles routes, plusieurs réservées aux vélos ou circulation locale. Très beaux paysages aussi. Je recommande vraiment de passer dans la région. Au bout de quelques centaines de mètres d'ascension, on peut observer à la droite le joli village de Welscheid avec son église. Dépaysement garanti.

Beautiful climb with during the hairpins a beautiful view of Welscheid. The narrow road has beautiful tarmac and you will encounter little or no traffic. It is too narrow for the motorcyclists so you have the climb for yourself. Not too heavy in gradient, maximum enjoyment.

Prachtige klim met tijdens de haarspelden een mooi uitzicht op Welscheid. Het smalle weggetje is voorzien van prachtig asfalt en je zal weinig tot geen verkeer tegenkomen. Het is te smal voor de motorrijders waardoor je de klim voor jezelf hebt. Niet te zwaar in stijgingspercentage, maximaal genieten.

Lovely quiet path, car-free/low traffic. Not the most difficult, but evenly steep and at the end flattens out a bit.

Heerlijk rustig paadje, autovrij/luw. Niet de meest zware, maar gelijkmatig stijl en op het eind wat afvlakkend
