A somewhat nagging climb. The part on the wide road through the village seems to last forever and the landscape and the slope (plus a free cycle path) only improve when you leave the village but then you're almost there already. The Hobbelrade is a lot more pleasant. The slope is never the same. If you cycle this one full speed up, the length and the varying gradient (even though on average it is not steep) could be a real wrecker.... read more

What a drag. Really regular and with little to offer when it comes to gradients, but it's a real energy-sapper as it keeps going for much longer than you'd like: you try and push through, it's just going to make it that bit harder. Good surface and on a segregated bike path, but quite some traffic on the road next to you.
Of all ways to reach Valkenburg, this is probably my least favourite.

This " climb" is mainly ridden up when coming from the north (Sittard and Geleen) towards Valkenburg, It is then about the first warm-up for the " real climbing" in southern Limburg. Certainly not steep but rather irregular. At the end, on leaving Spaubeek, it gets fairly steep for a while, but before you know it, you are at the top.

Deze " klim" wordt vooral opgereden wanneer je komende vanuit het noorden (Sittard en Geleen) richting Valkenburg gaat, Het is dan zo'n beetje de eerste opwarmer voor het "echte klimwerk" in zuid Limburg. Zeker niet steil maar nogal onregelmatig. Op het einde, bij het uitrijden van Spaubeek loopt het nog even redelijk steil op, maar voor je het weet ben je boven.

This is mainly a road you have to take a while to get from a - to - b. Yes, it ramps up here and there and especially if you want to keep the pace up you feel it. But it never really gets steeper. Besides, you just cycle on and off the main road. Nothing special.

Dit is vooral een weg die je even moet nemen om van a - naar - b te komen. Ja, het loopt her en der op en zeker als je het tempo erin wil houden dan voel je dat. Maar het wordt nooit echt steiler. Daarnaast fiets je gewoon op en naast de grote weg. Niets bijzonders.

Not too spectacular climb from Spaubeek along the main road towards Schimmert. The gradient fluctuates a bit without getting really tough. The route from Spaubeek via Hobbelrade and Genhout to Schimmert is a lot more fun/enjoyable to ride.

Niet al te spectaculaire klim vanuit Spaubeek langs de doorgaande weg richting Schimmert. De stijgingspercentages fluctueren wat zonder dat het echt zwaar wordt. De route vanuit Spaubeek via Hobbelrade en Genhout naar Schimmert is een stuk leuker/aangenamer om te rijden.

Een wat zeurderige klim. Het stuk over de brede weg door de bebouwde kom lijkt eindeloos te duren en landschappelijk en qua helling (plus een vrijliggend fietspad) wordt het pas beter als je de bebouwde kom verlaat maar dan ben je er al bijna. Via de Hobbelrade is dan een stuk aangenamer.
De helling is geen moment hetzelfde. Als je deze volle bak omhoog fietst zou de lengte en de variërende stijging (ook al is die gemiddeld gering) best een sloper kunnen zijn.

The climb of Hoogveld is not worthwhile. The busy road through Spaubeek is not recommended. It becomes a bit interesting if you cycle out of the built-up area and continue on the cycle path. Do you want to go from Spaubeek in the direction of the Central Plateau, then cycle via Hobbelrade or Hegge.

De beklimming van Hoogveld is niet de moeite waard. De drukke weg door Spaubeek verdient geen aanbeveling. Het wordt een beetje interessant als je de bebouwde kom uitfietst en verder gaat over het fietspad. Wil je vanuit Spaubeek in de richting van het Centraal Plateau, fiets dan via Hobbelrade of Hegge.

Very boring alternative for Hobbelrade along a busy road. I only choose this route if I want to drive quickly to the hills.

Zeer saai alternatief voor Hobbelrade langs een drukke weg. Ik kies deze route alleen als ik snel door wil rijden naar het heuvelland.
