Very steep and strenuous climb through the narrow old town of Monschau up to Höfen. The cobblestone passages alone and the poor to difficult road surface demand everything from you with double-digit gradients. Nevertheless, always worth the trip 😉 You should be extremely careful here due to the extreme gradient and the poor road surface.
Sehr steiler und anstrengender Anstieg durch die enge Monschauer Altstadt bis hoch nach Höfen. Alleine die Kopfsteinpflasterpassagen und der schlechte bis schwierige Strassenbelag fordern einem bei zweistelligen Steigungen alles ab. Trotzdem immer wieder eine Reise wert. 😉 Herunter sollte man hier extrem vorsichtig sein, aufgrund des extremen Gefälles und des schlechten Straßenbelages.
Very hard and irregular climb. It climbs a lot as soon as you leave the market square at the church in Monschau. Especially the first part over the cobblestones, which are not very good, takes all the energy out of your legs. After that it's a long way over the spur to the main road. Highly recommended for cobblestone lovers!
Zeer zware en onregelmatige klim. Het stijgt al serieus wat vanaf je het marktje aan de kerk in Monschau afrijdt. Vooral het eerste deel over de kasseien die er maar matig bij liggen haalt reeds alle energie uit je benen. Daarna is het nog een lange weg over de uitloper tot aan de grote baan. Een aanrader voor kasseiliefhebbers!
