A pleasant climb from the Rochusmühle, situated between Imgenbroich and Mützenich, to the Smugglers’ Monument at the start of the Highway to Hell.

Netter Anstieg von der zwischen Imgenbroich und Mützenich gelegenen Rochusmühle zum Schmugglerdenkmal am Beginn des Highway to Hell. Der Beginn ist etwas steiler, danach flacht der Ansteig etwas ab mit kontinuierlichen Steigungswerzen von 2-3 % zum Ende. Asphalt ist sehr gut.
