The Motieweg is a must if you want to climb in Twente. It slowly rises to its steepest percentage and then it's 300 metres of kang buffering. Nice tip: if you turn right at the top, descend and turn right twice before Holten, you can do a 6 km Motieweg lap.

Motieweg is a short and straight climb through the forest, with a steep section at the beginning. Then it flattens out and you ride smoothly to the top.

I still find this the most beautiful of the Salland Ridge, quiet and short but fierce. You turn the corner and you can get going right away. You start with 4-5％ and within 100 metres you hit the 10％ mark. After 400 metres you've had the hardest part and it's off to the continuous road over the ridge.

Really nice to pop up against for once. Steep it certainly is at one point but the end is flattened and gives you your breath back. Quiet road compared to the other roads in the area

The 10％ sign at the top could well be correct over a short stretch as the climb really does offer a challenge by Northern Dutch standards. Good tarmac and runs entirely through the forest. At the start you can see the steep slope right away. After the turn, it is somewhat undulating until the end.

I cycled up this one this morning, was quiet and was able to cycle up it wonderfully. It comes highly recommended.

Challenging climb especially for the Netherlands. After the climb, the tourist road over Holterberg starts on the left

Spicy little climb. You arrive at the bend and see it straight ahead as a road in the forest. With a big steep part (10％ - 12％) after that it levels off a bit. This is a good place to train for the hills you'll find in the south of Limburg.

Climbing on a somewhat steeper short road in the woods. That's all there is to it. If you continue north after that, you'll be treated to more variation: up, down, bends, straight ahead, deciduous forest, coniferous forest, heath and hell (even the Deep Hell).

Locally known as the 'Motieweg' is next to the 'deep Hell' one of the toughest climbs in the area.
Nice to take in tour in the area.
