This will be one of Luxembourg's longer bell climbs. For me, a little over 22 minutes of climbing anyway. In it you get necessary variation in terms of scenery and views. Patches of forest, beautiful meadows and wheat fields, a few farms. And the climb went a bit in steps for my liking. Always a bit of climbing with relatively stable percentages and then a bit of flat or slight descent and then another piece of climbing. This allowed you to recover every now and then. It was useful to pay attention to the wind because a large part of the slope is very open, which can be an extra obstacle.

Nice ongoing climb with varying gradients but nowhere really too steep. Changing environment and few cars.

For the moment the longest climb in Luxembourg on this site, and that makes it attractive as training for more difficult climbs. I have climbed this one countless times and it still fascinates me. It starts between the houses, but soon you ride between the fields (short part in the forest) to the top. Hardly any traffic, you can ride up in all peace! The alternative from Keppeshausen is steeper and shorter (and maybe even more fun ;) ).
