Climb over the busy road from Valkenburg to Hulsberg. The climb starts when turning onto Nieuweweg. Due to heavy traffic (especially in the summer months), you have to be very careful. Only at the point where Nieuweweg turns into Emmaberg (at the junction with Hekerweg) do you ride on the separate cycle path. This climb is fine for a quick crossing to Hulsberg but there are a couple nearby that are much nicer.... read more

Klim over de drukke weg van Valkenburg naar Hulsberg. De klim start bij het opdraaien van de Nieuweweg. Vanwege druk verkeer (zeker in de zomermaanden) is het heel goed opletten. Pas op het punt waar de Nieuweweg overgaat in Emmaberg (bij de splitsing met de Hekerweg) ga je op het vrijliggende fietspad rijden. Deze klim is prima voor een snelle doorsteek naar Hulsberg maar er liggen er in de buurt een stel die veel mooier zijn.

Quite a few altimeters and climbing points, but to name it a pleasure to ride? Well no. The first part you have to share with cars and trucks and because of a central reservation there is little space available. Then it gets a little better, although the slope is difficult to estimate but it certainly climbs. After the side road to Klimmen you see the road rising nicely again and a nice view unfolds to the left but unfortunately you also change here from a bicycle lane to a tarmac bike path which is quite bumpy. Fortunately, it is then not so far. Nice because of the slopes, moderate because of the crowds and (some of) the surface.

best wat hoogtemeters en klimpunten, maar om nou te nomen dat het een plezier om te rijden is? Nou nee. Het eerste deel moet je delen met auto's en vrachtwagens en vanwege een middenberm is er maar weinig ruimte beschikbaar. Daarna wordt het even beter, al is de helling lastig in te schatten maar klimmen doet het zeker. Na de zijweg naar Klimmen zie je de weg weer mooi stijgen en ontvouwt zich aardig uitzicht naar links maar helaas ga je hier ook over van een fietsstrook naar een tegelfietspad die behoorlijk hobbelig is. Gelukkig is het dan niet meer zo ver. Leuk vanwege de hellingen, matig vanwege de drukte en (een deel van) de ondergrond.

First of all a busy road. Until the junction with the road towards Klimmen the path is good. But after the junction the path is terribly tiled. I do not like it at all. The view to the left is worthwhile. A nice option is to send your bike on the tiled path into the first road on the right and continue along the Emmabergweg and the Groeneweg.

Op de eerste plaats een drukke weg. Tot de splitsing met de weg richting Klimmen loopt het lekker. Maar na de splitsing gaat het verder over een vreselijk tegelpad. Ik vind er geen bal aan. Het uitzicht op links is wel de moeite waard. Leuke optie is om je fiets op het tegelpad de eerste weg rechts in te sturen en te vervolgen over de Emmabergweg en de Groeneweg.

I know the climb mainly as the toughest climb of the AGR for amateurs (on the Saturday).

When you're on top of the cauberg, enjoying your beer and having a good time at the finish, you have to go back to the parking lot. The legs really don't want to go.

Ik ken de klim vooral als zwaarste klim van de AGR voor amateurs (op de zaterdag).

Wanneer je boven op de cauberg, lekker geniet van de pintjes en gezelligheid bij de finish en dan weer terug moet gaan naar de parkeerplaats. De benen willen dan echt niet meer.

Recently I was in Zuid-Limburg and wanted to do the Cauberg (and the Gulperberg). On the day of our departure however I was too tired: I had the whole day ahead of me and wanted to save my strength. On a normal city bike and with a backpack this slope is doable, but not easy. The stretch of false flat between Valkenburg-city and Emmaberg is treacherous: the steepest part is still to come and that is not what you are prepared for.

Ik was onlangs in Zuid-Limburg en had de Cauberg (en de Gulperberg) willen doen. Op de dag van ons vertrek was ik daar echter te moe voor: ik moest nog de hele dag en wilde mijn krachten sparen. Op een gewone stadsfiets en met een trekkersrugzak is deze helling nog goed te doen, maar beslist geen kattenpis. Het stuk vals plat tussen Valkenburg-stad en Emmaberg is verraderlijk: het steilste stuk moet nog komen en daar ben je niet op bedacht.
