I had this climb last in my route. With 2200 altimeters already in the legs, it was gruelling and a lot of walking. Steepness constantly between 10 and 17 per cent, so better to do this climb when you are still a bit fresher.... read more

Ik had deze klim als laatste in mijn route. Met al 2200 hoogtemeters in de benen was het afzien en veel lopen. Stijgingspercentage constant tussen de 10 en 17 procent, dus beter om deze klim te doen als je nog wat frisser bent.

Okay, the road surface may not be great here and there, but that doesn't matter if you can climb irregularly in this beautiful region! One of the toughest climbs in the area, which is why you shouldn't ignore it!

Okee het wegdek mag dan her en der niet super zijn maar wat geeft dat als je lekker onregelmatig mag klimmen in deze prachtige regio! Een van de zwaarste klimmen in de buurt vandaar dat je hem ook zeker niet links mag laten liggen!

A very uneven climb with various short stretches of 15％. Compared to the ascent from Hohenlimburg to Veserde, this is the tougher route in my view, although there are also short sections to catch your breath. The surface could be better, especially in the upper section. An endurance test that you should definitely have tried, but one time is enough for me ;)

Ein sehr ungleichmäßiger Anstieg mit diversen, kurzen Stichen an die 15％. Im Vergleich zur Auffahrt von Hohenlimburg nach Veserde ist dies meiner Ansicht nach definitiv die härtere Route, wenngleich es dafür auch kurze Abschnitte zum Verschnaufen gibt. Der Belag könnte insbesondere im oberen Abschnitt besser sein. Ein Härtetest, den man durchaus mal probiert haben sollte, häufiger muss es aber auch nicht sein ;)

A not to underestimate climb in two parts, where each part has percentages in the double digits. The climb starts vicious and you know immediately that it is not easy. The surroundings are varied and beautiful. The road is of reasonable quality, but at times confusing. Be careful with the little traffic there is.

Een niet te onderschatten klim in twee delen, waarbij elk deel percentages in de dubbele cijfers heeft. De klim begin venijnig en je weet direct dat het niet makkelijk wordt. De omgeving is afwisselend en mooi. De weg is redelijk wat kwaliteit betreft, maar bij tijd en wijle ook onoverzichtelijk. Opletten met het weinige verkeer dat er is.
