Not too difficult climb from Aubel. Most of it is false plate and runs fine. Only the last part is a bit steeper. Especially on weekdays there is a lot of (freight) traffic so you have to be careful. At the top there are possibilities to go in various directions.... read more

Niet te moeilijke klim vanuit Aubel. Overgrote deel is vals plaat en loopt prima. Alleen laatste stukje is wat steiler. Zeker op werkdagen veel (vracht)verkeer waardoor het opletten is. Op de top mogelijkheden om diverse richtingen op te gaan.

The road can be busy so the adjacent cycle path over an old railway line is then soon attractive. Then you do miss this quite nice climb with nice views over right and a nice and easily visible ascent to the main road.

De weg kan druk zijn dus het naastgelegen fietspad over een oude spoorlijn is dan al snel aantrekkelijk. Dan mis je wel deze best aardige klim met mooi uitzicht over rechts en een leuke en goed zichtbare stijging naar de hoofdweg.
