A nice climb in a beautiful wooded area, maad I wouldn't recommend it for cyclists. The climb is mostly on a gravel path, and that's not so bad at the climb, but because it's a dead-end climb, you have to descend along the same path and that was quite linky in my opinion because it's quite coarse gravel in some parts and my wheels (30mm) occasionally skidded. I would therefore really only recommend it for gravel bikes! There is a house at the top and you hardly have a view, s... read more

A nice climb in a beautiful wooded area, maad I wouldn't recommend it for cyclists. The climb is mostly on a gravel path, and that's not so bad at the climb, but because it's a dead-end climb, you have to descend along the same path and that was quite linky in my opinion because it's quite coarse gravel in some parts and my wheels (30mm) occasionally skidded. I would therefore really only recommend it for gravel bikes! There is a house at the top and you hardly have a view, so that's why other climbs nearby (Petersberg, Drachenfels) are better options.

Een mooie klim in een prachtige bosrijke omgeving, maad ik zou 'm niet aanraden voor wielrenners. De klim gaat grotendeels over een gravelpad, en dat is bij de klim nog niet zo erg maar omdat het een doodlopende klim is, moet je langs hetzelfde pad afdalen en dat was mijns inziens best link omdat het op sommige stukken best grof grind is en m'n wielen (30mm) af en toe slipten. Ik zou 'm daarom eigenlijk alleen aanraden voor gravelbikes! Op de top staat een woning en heb je nauwelijks uitzicht, dus daarom zijn andere klimmetjes in de buurt (Petersberg, Drachenfels) betere opties.
