I climbed this slope just after a train ride of one and a half hours, at a relatively chilly 15 degrees Celsius: the legs nice and cold! Certainly not the most beautiful climb in or outside Eupen, but it is a nice "warming-up". Via a busy road without cycle path the road gradually gets steeper, only at the listed building of the Pater-Damian-Sekundarschule it gets a bit harder to pump up to the roundabout.

I climbed this slope just after a train ride of one and a half hours, at a relatively chilly 15 degrees Celsius: the legs nice and cold! Certainly not the most beautiful climb in or outside Eupen, but it is a nice "warming-up".

Via a busy road without cycle path the road gradually gets steeper, only at the listed building of the Pater-Damian-Sekundarschule it gets a bit harder to pump up to the roundabout. Here you take an oblique left straight ahead into Kehrweg (the stands of the local football club KAS Eupen show you the way) where this climb ends.

Pay attention in the descent of the Kehrweg towards the Wesertalsperre reservoir! The track becomes very narrow, and suddenly goes down very steep, and the hairpin at the end of the descent is treacherous! I rode this descent with my 16 year-old bike, rim brakes on 23 mm tyres and a wet road surface: squeezed my buttocks...

Ik heb deze helling beklommen vlak na een treinrit van anderhalf uur, bij een relatief frisse 15 graden Celsius: de benen lekker koud dus! Zeker niet de mooiste klim in of buiten Eupen, maar het is wel een fijne "opwarmer".

Via een drukke baan zonder fietspad loopt de weg stilaan steiler op, pas aan het geklasseerde gebouw van de Pater-Damian-Sekundarschule wordt het iets harder pompen tot aan pakweg het rondpunt. Hier neem je schuin linksaf-rechtdoor de Kehrweg (de tribunes van lokale voetbalclub KAS Eupen wijzen je de weg) alwaar deze klim doodbloedt.

Let goed op in de afdaling van de Kehrweg richting stuwmeerWesertalsperre! De baan wordt zeer smal, en gaat opeens zeer steil naar beneden, en de haarspeldbocht aan het einde van de afdaling ligt er verraderlijk bij! Ik reed deze afdaling met mijn 16 jaar oude fiets, velgremmen op 23mm bandjes én een nat wegdek: billen dichtgeknepen...

A nice climb with a tough section but the road can be busy (although not annoying) and there is no cycle lane. After the first roundabout, it is time to cycle on. Fair to good tarmac provided you stay away from the edge because it can be worse there.

Een lekkere klim met een pittig stukje maar de weg kan wel druk zijn (al was het niet hinderlijk) en er is geen fietsstrook. Na de eerste rotonde is het uitfietsen tot het stadion waar de top is. Redelijk tot goed asfalt mits je van de rand wegblijft want daar kan het wel slechter zijn.
