Mandatory in the Reichswald as far as I'm concerned. Road is only so-so, scenery a big ten with a pin. Climb is a bit spicier than the percentages suggest. Other side seems to be slightly trickier, but yours truly disputes that.

Verplichte kost in het Reichswald wat mij betreft. Weg is maar zozo, de omgeving een dikke tien met een griffel. Klimmetje is iets pittiger dan de percentages doen vermoeden. Andere zijde schijnt iets lastiger te zijn, maar dat betwist ondergetekende.

nice climb, in good weather fine to do on the road bike. in bad weather, or in winter, I would 'avoid. found the climb more challenging than expected, did not 'just' pedal up.

mooie klim, met goed weer prima te doen op de racefiets. in slecht weer, of in de winter, zou ik 'm mijden. vond de klim pittiger dan verwacht, trapte niet 'zomaar' naar boven.

Generally, it is doable, although I would not recommend going over it in winter/with bad weather. A bit of gravel should not be a problem, and the climb itself is extremely beautiful and not to be missed.

Over het algemeen prima te doen, al zou ik niet aanraden om er in de winter/met slecht weer hard overheen te gaan. Stukje gravel moet geen probleem zijn, en de klim zelf is enorm mooi en mag je eigenlijk niet missen.

At the moment this climb is a real challenge on a racing bike. For hundreds of meters there are 10 layers of leaves on top of each other, there is no asphalt to be seen. Add to that the unpaved part just after the start and the mediocre asphalt (you can't see through the leaves if there is a hole in the road) and you know; watch out. This applies especially to the descending part after the climb; here the road is significantly worse than on the climb.

Momenteel is deze klim echt een grote uitdaging op racefiets. Gedurende honderden meters liggen er wel 10 lagen bladeren boven op elkaar, er is geen asfalt te zien. Tel daar het onverharde gedeelte net na de start en het matige asfalt bij op (je ziet het door de bladeren niet als er een gat in de weg zit) en je weet; oppassen geblazen. Dit geldt voornamelijk voor het dalende stuk na de klim; hier ligt de weg er beduidend slechter bij dan op de klim.

The road surface is sometimes very bad, so especially downhill you have to be careful. Yet I give the climb 5 stars, because the winding and at times quite steep climb through the woods is very beautiful and for the area completely unique.

Het wegdek is bij vlagen erg slecht, dus zeker heuvel af is het oppassen geblazen. Toch geef ik de klim 5 sterren, omdat de slingerende en bij vlagen best steile klim door het bos zeer mooi en voor de omgeving volkomen uniek is.

If you are not afraid of 300 meters of gravel, this climb is a gem in the region. In the beautiful spring light, with the sound of birds, this is a nice climb to cycle up.

Als je een meter of 300 gravel niet schuwt dan is deze klim een pareltje in de regio. In het mooie voorjaarslicht, met het geluid van vogels is dit een leuke klim om lekker tegenop te fietsen.

The Reichswald is a - for Dutch standards - large forest with few roads for road cyclists to climb. This is one of the few climbs through the forest, but also a beautiful one. The gravel part is not too bad and after that there is good tarmac until the top. The road is deserted except for a few hikers. I found the descent quite doable with the bad tarmac after the top. Just hang in there and slalom between the holes.

Het Reichswald is een - voor Nederlandse begrippen - groot bos met weinig wegen voor racefietsers om te klimmen. Dit is een van de weinige beklimmingen door het bos, maar ook meteen een mooie. Het gravelstuk valt heel erg mee en daarna volgt prima asfalt tot de top. De weg is uitgestorven op misschien een paar wandelaars na. Ik vond de afdaling nog wel goed te doen met het slechte asfalt na de top. Gewoon goed in de beugels hangen en slalommen tussen de gaten.

This is a challenging climb Poor road surface for road bikes and I think some parts the percentages are much higher than reported here. Beautiful through piece reichswald what many do not know and can find

Dit is een uitdagende klim Slecht wegdek voor racefiets en volgens mij zijn sommige stukken de percentages stukken hoger dan hier gemeld. Mooi door stuk reichswald wat velen niet kennen en kunnen vinden

Can't we start a petition to have the Geldenberg asphalted again? Just like that piece of forest near Frasselt, near the Brandenberg. The asphalt is not maintained anymore :(

Kunnen we geen petitie starten om de Geldenberg weer geasfalteerd te hebben? Net zoals dat stuk bos bij Frasselt bij de Brandenberg. Het asfalt wordt niet meer bijgehouden :(

Yes, I agree. But you have to submit it in kleve.

Ja mee eens Maar moet je in kleef indienen dan he

Nice climb through the forest with no cars, but be aware of the road conditions. In the lead up to this climb, there is a section with loose gravel, it mostly sits in the middle of the road, and ascending is fine. After this gravel section the rest of the climb has descent asfalt. Descending this climb can be very tricky, as you will hit the loose gravel at full speed, be very careful. The descent on the other side is doable, no gravel, but overall very bad road conditions. Fine if you do it alone, but I would be very careful with a group.
