Komende vanuit Gemmenich begint de klim voor Plombières en loopt dan ruim 1 kilometer lekker omhoog tot vlak voor de afslag naar Sippenaeken. Verder naar Hombourg rijdt je dan over een vrij drukke weg. Vanaf vlak voor het spoorwegemplacement tot boven in Hombourg is het dan weer even doortrappen. Echt zwaar is deze klim niet.
Two-part climb. On the one hand, a nice start in Plombières but when you leave the built-up area, there is a long stretch with little height difference. Only when you enter Hombourg you see the road really rise again and there is a nice ending. You drive on the provincial road but it is not really busy. However, wide and so what boring. Furthermore, little view.
If you come from Gemmenich you also pick up about 15 extra altimeters to come from the valley of La Gueule at the beginning of the climb.
Tweeledige klim. Enerzijds een lekker begin in Plombières maar als je de de bebouwde kom verlaat komt er een langdradig stuk met weinig hoogteverschillen. Pas als je Hombourg binnenrijdt zie je de weg weer echt stijgen en komt er nog een leuk eindstukje. Je rijdt over de provinciale weg maar deze is niet echt druk. Wel breed en dus wat saai. Verder ook weinig uitzicht.
Als je vanuit Gemmenich komt pak je trouwens nog zo'n 15 hoogtemeters extra mee om vanuit het dal van La Gueule bij het begin van de klim te komen.
