One of the options to ride south from Voerendaal via Winthagen. The climb starts in Voerendaal and is false flat until Winthagen. If you ride straight ahead in Winthagen you turn right after the hamlet at the junction. The Geerweg rises gradually for a fairly long time. It is not until you reach the left-hand bend that the gradient goes up and you have to keep going to the top in Colmont. Because you drive a bit lower than the farmland on both sides of the road, the view all around is limited. ... read more

Eén van de mogelijkheden om vanuit Voerendaal via Winthagen naar het zuiden te rijden. De klim begint in Voerendaal en is tot aan Winthagen vals plat. Als je in Winthagen rechtdoor rijdt ga je na het buurtschap op de splitsing rechtsaf. De Geerweg loopt redelijk lang geleidelijk op. Pas tegen het punt dat je bij de bocht naar links komt gaat het stijgingspercentage omhoog en is het even doorzetten tot de top in Colmont. Doordat je wat lager rijdt dan de landerijen aan beide zijden van de weg is het uitzicht rondom beperkt.

One of the little-known gems in South Limburg. The climb begins in Voerendaal. After a gentle ascent, you arrive in the beautiful hamlet of Winthagen, from where the ‘real’ climb to Colmont begins. It’s a long stretch, with a steep section at the end of the bend that can really take it out of you.

Een van de weinig bekende pareltje in zuid-Limburg. De klim begint al in Voerendaal. Na een licht oplopend stuk kom je in het schitterende gehucht Winthagen terecht vanwaar de "echte" klim naar Colmont begint. Een loper met aan het eind in de bocht nog een steil stukje wat wel pijn kan doen.

Not super challenging but a very nice climb. Almost from the start you see Colmont (the endpoint) and the road winds through a nice little valley towards it. During the climb you can see and feel the road getting steeper and it stays that way until the turn to the left (after the sign "built-up area"). Then the road flattens out quickly.

You can actually start the climb from Voerendaal via Winthagen. Not too difficult and a nice route.

Niet super-uitdagend maar wel een heel mooi klimmetje. De klim kan je starten vanuit Voerendaal. Vanaf de afslag na Winthagen zie je Colmont (het eindpunt) al liggen en daar slingert de weg door een mooi dalletje naar toe. Gedurende de klim zie en voel je de weg steeds steiler worden en dat blijft zo gaan tot de bocht naar links (na het bord "bebouwde kom"). Daarna vlakt het snel af.

Niet al te zwaar en een mooi traject.

The Geerweg is 'just' another finish of the Wachelderberg. Nice and quiet, good road surface. You end up at the camping in Colmont.

De Geerweg is ‘gewoon’ een andere finish van de Wachelderberg. Mooi rustig, goed wegdek. Je komt uit bij de Camping in Colmont.
