Very steep ascent at the Eifelerer Tor holiday park from the lake up to the entrance/reception. The road quality is very good. Nevertheless, although it was only 900 metres long, I found the climb particularly challenging and felt much steeper than 8 ％ on average.
Sehr steiler Anstieg am Ferienpark Eifelerer Tor vom See bis quasi hoch zur Einfahrt / Rezeption. Die Strassenqualität ist sehr gut. Trotzdem empfand ich den Anstieg obwohl nur 900 Meter lang als besonders herausfordernd und gefühlt wesentlich steiler als 8 ％ im Schnitt.

In some parts steeper than you think, road surface is reasonable and when I was there it is very quiet with car traffic. On a 'normal' bike with 8-speed hub gear also just doable, although a road bike will be easier.
Turn left at the top and you can continue the climb to the Kermeter without a break, then tackle your 300 altimeters in a row. Or you take a break and turn right for stunning views from the Rurtalsperre
Op sommige stukken steiler dan je denkt, wegdek is redelijk en het is toen ik er was erg rustig met autoverkeer. Op een 'normale' fiets met 8 speed naafversnelling ook nog net te doen, al zal een racefiets makkelijker gaan.
Bovenaan linksaf afslaan en je kunt zonder onderbreking door met de klim naar de Kermeter, dan pak rijdt je 300 hoogtemeters achter elkaar. Of je neemt even pauze en gaat rechtsaf voor een prachtig uitzicht vanaf de Rurtalsperre

Quite steep. Having to ride your bike to the reception on the grounds to meet 'Bollo' does not make you happy. No kidding, especially the stretch preceding this climb along the Rur is very beautiful.
Behoorlijk steil. Als je even op de fiets naar de receptie moet op het terrein om ‘Bollo’ te ontmoeten wordt je niet blij. Zonder gekheid, vooral het aan deze klim voorafgaande stuk langs de Rur is erg mooi.
