Short but surprisingly beautiful climb on the Kempen Plateau. From the stream valley, you roll into the forest and the road gradually turns uphill. Constant enough to keep going briskly.... read more

Kort maar verrassend mooi klimmetje op het Kempens Plateau. Vanuit het beekdal rol je het bos in en draait de weg geleidelijk omhoog. Constant genoeg om stevig door te trekken.

A surprisingly long and steeply ascending climb from a lovely stream valley, it winds up nicely through the forest and is among the most beautiful slopes on the ridge.

Een verrassend lange en stevig oplopende klim vanuit een lieflijk beekdalletje, die door het bos mooi omhoog slingert en tot de mooiste hellingen van de heuvelrug behoort.

Not only is this climb worthwhile on this ridge, but also the unincorporated Moorsberg, which, like a nice second alternative via Geenstraat and accessible from the back of Caelenberg, are pretty much parallel to this slope.

Niet enkel deze klim is voor deze regio op deze heuvelrug de moeite waard maar ook de niet opgenomen Moorsberg, welleswaar minder steil en net als een fraai alternatief via de Geenstraat bovendien makkelijk bereikbaar via de achterzijde van de Caelenberg liggen zowat evenwijdig met deze helling en zijn een bezoekje meer dan waard.Een fraaie Lourdesgrot aan de voet kan dan nog eens dienen als een leuke landschappelijke afwisseling.

This slope has been included in the mountain classification of the Tour of Limburg for amateurs a few times in the past.When descending the Caelenberg or Kalenberg, at the end of the bend, you have to be a bit careful of water on the road, perhaps from a springing spring.

Deze helling werd in het verleden een paar maal opgenomen in het bergklassement van de Ronde van Limburg voor amateurs.Bij het afdalen van de Caelenberg of Kalenberg is het op het einde van de bocht een beetje oppassen voor water op de weg wellicht afkomstig van een ontspringend bronnetje.

A lovely little climb up a lovely and wooded stream valley. In view of the surroundings, it goes on for an unexpectedly long time and also at a relatively steady pace. The beautiful asphalt road (reasonable to good asphalt) swings nicely upwards. Definitely one of the most beautiful climbs in this region.

Een heerlijk klimmetje vanuit een lieflijk en bosrijk beekdalletje omhoog. Gezien de omgeving trekt deze onverwacht lang door en ook nog aan een relatief stevig tempo. Het mooie asfaltweggetje (redelijk tot goed asfalt) slingert hierbij mooi naar boven. Zeker één van de mooiste klimmetjes in deze streek.

A slightly sloping road takes you into the forest. The climb starts after a small bridge and finally it goes firmly up through the forest.

Met een licht aflopende weg ga je het bos in. De klim begint na het bruggetje en loopt uiteindelijk stevig omhoog door het bos.
