If there's a banister for pedestrians, you know it's going to be tough ;-) Not very long and despite the extreme percentage, it is a good runner as the road undulates only very slightly. Not that you would have had to change gears otherwise as it's just uphill in its 1 all the way.... read more

If there's a banister for pedestrians, you know it's going to be tough ;-)

Not very long and despite the extreme percentage, it is a good runner as the road undulates only very slightly. Not that you would have had to change gears otherwise as it's just uphill in its 1 all the way. Fine road surface but there is a chance of oncoming traffic (I had one that did give way nicely as far as possible) as the road is also used as a transit route. Really one for the bucket list.

Als er voor de voetgangers een trapleuning is weet je dat het zwaar gaat worden ;-)

Niet heel lang en ondanks het extreme percentage is het wel een goede loper want de weg golft maar heel licht. Niet dat je anders had moeten schakelen want het is gewoon de hele weg in zijn 1 naar boven. Prima wegdek maar wel kans op tegenliggers (ik had er één die wel netjes ruimte gaf voor zover mogelijk) want de weg wordt ook als doorgangsroute gebruikt. Echt eentje voor de bucketlist.

Spicy percentages, but this steep thing is doable due to the short distance. Nice little climb to test your legs.

Pittige percentages, maar dit steile ding is goed te doen door de korte afstand. Leuk klimmetje om je benen te testen.

Totally agree with the other reviewers. In any case, I really liked this climb because the road goes up very constantly, so you can pick up a nice rhythm (however low; you will most probably have to get out of the saddle). Furthermore, the road surface is good and the street is very traffic-free (although there were cars's parked in front of some houses along the road). Therefore definitely a nice climb to do if you are (reasonably) in the area. By the way, cycling around Eupen is beautiful anyway!

P.S. I was also attracted by Jurne's comment that this climb would have the steepest gradient in Belgium; in the comparison table, the Edelstrasse is ranked 2nd behind a climb in southern Wallonia; however, that shouldn't spoil the fun, especially if you don't frequent southern Belgium.

Helemaal eens met de andere recensenten. Ik vond deze klim in ieder geval heel lekker lopen omdat de weg heel constant omhoog loopt en je dus een mooi ritme kunt pakken (hoe laag ook; je moet hoogstwaarschijnlijk wel uit het zadel). Verder is het wegdek goed en is de straat heel verkeersluw (hoewel er wel auto's voor een aantal huizen langs de weg geparkeerd stonden). Daarom zeker een mooie klim om te doen als je (redelijk) in de buurt bent. Overigens is het sowieso mooi fietsen in de omgeving van Eupen!

P.S. ik was ook aangetrokken door de opmerking van Jurne dat deze klim het steilste klimpercentage van België zou hebben; in de vergelijkingstabel staat de Edelstrasse als 2e geclassificeerd achter een klim in het zuiden van Wallonie; Dat mag de pret echter niet drukken, zeker niet als je niet vaak in het zuiden van België komt.

Climb with the highest average gradient in Belgium, you must have done it once. Actually it wasn't too bad, so maybe RobPolus is right about the percentage. Last week, I rode the Rue de la Sèche and it felt much steeper. But now about the climb: make sure you have your gears set because it starts right away, the climb is short enough that you can go all-out without blowing yourself up. The road surface is good and there is hardly any traffic. There are some streets in the neighbourhood that go towards the same point, these are also steep and might be worth a climb.

Klim met het hoogste gemiddelde stijgingspercentage van België moet je ooit gedaan hebben toch. Eigenlijk viel ie me alles mee, dus misschien heeft RobPolus wel gelijk over het stijgingspercentage. Vorige week de Rue de la Sèche opgereden en die voelde toch veel steiler aan. Maar nu wat over de klim: zorg dat je vooraf goed geschakeld staat want hij begint meteen, de klim is kort genoeg dat je all-out kunt gaan zonder jezelf op te blazen. Het wegdek is goed en er is vrijwel geen verkeer. Er liggen nog wat straten in de buurt die richting hetzelfde punt gaan, deze zijn ook steil en misschien wel een beklimming waard.

Ridden it today for the first time. Steep thing, for sure. But these figures seem to me (and my garmin) somewhat exaggerated. I have ridden steeper ones to my feeling. It is not that bad. And pretty short too. Anyway, if you are in the area there is certainly nothing wrong with it.

Vandaag voor het eerst opgereden. Steil ding, dat zeker. Maar deze cijfers lijken mij (en m'n garmin) wat overdreven. Ik heb er al steilere opgereden naar m'n gevoel. Hij is niet zo erg. En ook behoorlijk kort. Maar goed, als je in de buurt bent is er zeker niets mis mee.
