Another hidden gem! Descent is dangerous though as there are quite a few holes in the tarmac, which you can't see very well.
Nog zo’n verborgen parel! Afdaling is wel gevaarlijk doordat er aardig wat gaten in het asfalt zitten, die je niet goed kunt zien.
Beautiful climb with a very moderate strip of tarmac as a carpet. On the other hand, in the earliest and latest hours with sunlight, the forest gives a fairytale appearance. Personally, I like this one better than the Kartenspielerweg.
Prachtige beklimming met een zeer matig strookje asfalt als tapijt. Daar staat tegenover dat het bos in de vroegste en laatste uren met zonlicht een sprookjesachtige aanblik geeft. Persoonlijk vind ik deze leuker dan de Kartenspielerweg.
Very nice climb. As mentioned earlier, the tarmac is bad at the beginning but gets better as the climb progresses. When you've had the steep part, you think you're at the top but then comes the faint bend where it continues to climb for a while. Doable on a gravel bike though!
Zeer leuke klim. Zoals eerder benoemd is het asfalt wel slecht aan het begin maar wordt gedurende de klim beter. Wanneer je het steile stuk hebt gehad, denk je dat je boven bent maar dan komt nog de flauwe bocht waar het nog even door stijgt. Met de gravelbike echter goed te doen!
Fairly steep straight line in the Reichswald on deserted typical Foersterweg. The tarmac is indeed very bad before the climb starts, but you can slalom around it reasonably well. When the climb starts, the quality of the asphalt is more than sufficient. This side of the climb has more climbing points, because it has slightly steeper sections. The other side is much nicer with some nice bends in it. Just after the descent, the road surface changes to gravel of good quality for a few hundred meters.
Redelijk steile rechte streep in het Reichswald op verlaten typische Foersterweg. Het asfalt is inderdaad erg slecht voordat de klim begint, maar je kunt er redelijk omheen slalommen. Als de klim begint, is het asfalt juist van ruim voldoende kwaliteit. Deze kant van de klim heeft weliswaar meer klimpunten, omdat het iets steilere stukken bevat. De andere kant vind ik echter veel mooier met een paar mooie bochten er in. Vlak na de afdaling gaat het wegdek een paar honderd meter over in gravel van prima kwaliteit.
4 star climb, but unfortunately the road surface has really deteriorated. This side of the climb is doable with a road bike, but definitely not comfortable. Do not descend on a road bike (or be very, very careful) on the other side, as you will hit a section of very loose gravel at full speed...
