The key is to shift to the lightest gear very quickly otherwise it will be walking on the 22% cobblestones (50 metres) and then some 200 metres at the same percentages on asphalt. Then you turn sharply right and may continue for kilometres. Real must-do climb, feeling heavier than the climbs around Vianden.... read more

Bizar lastig, mede door de haakse bocht aan het begin vanaf de doorgaande weg. Het is zaak om heel snel naar het lichtste verzet te schakelen anders wordt het lopen op de 22% kasseien (50 meter) en daarna nog zo’n 200 meter aan dezelfde percentages over asfalt. Dan draai je scherp rechts en mag je nog kilometerslang door. Echte must-do klim, gevoelsmatig zwaarder dan de beklimmingen rondom Vianden.
Those first 200m are absurdly steep. I don't think I have ever ridden a steeper 200m. First part even on nice cobblestones. After the steep part, it is a nice and quiet climb with some hairpin turns. On asphalt that is perfect everywhere.
Die eerste 200m zijn absurd steil. Ik denk niet dat ik ooit een steilere 200m ben op gereden. Eerste stukje zelfs op mooie kasseien. Na het steile stuk is het een rustige mooie klim met enkele haarspeldbochten op zoals overal daar perfect asvalt.
