An interesting, short and steep climb that is well worth the effort. It almost feels like a Belgian slipway, but the pavé is not rough and is easy to ride on a road bike. The climb begins at the Alzette near the "Ascenseur de Pafendall", turn left before the lift between a few houses (be careful, there are bollards here to calm traffic and there are always lots of tourists coming from the direction of the lift). Then the road divides. To the left is Rue Sosthène Weis, which is tarmac... read more

An interesting, short and steep climb that is well worth the effort. It almost feels like a Belgian slipway, but the pavé is not rough and is easy to ride on a road bike. The climb begins at the Alzette near the "Ascenseur de Pafendall", turn left before the lift between a few houses (be careful, there are bollards here to calm traffic and there are always lots of tourists coming from the direction of the lift). Then the road divides. To the left is Rue Sosthène Weis, which is tarmac and much less steep. This is also worth a short detour through the Schlassbréck, where you have a wonderful view of the casemates and Neumünster Abbey. The Montée de Pafendall turns off to the right, starts steeply and remains steep, one of the steepest climbs in the region. At the top are the three towers, which are also worth seeing. The view is excellent and straight ahead is the town centre.

Ein interessanter kurzer und steiler Anstieg, der sich lohnt. Fast kommt das Gefühl eines belgischen Helling auf, aber das Pavé ist nicht ruppig, gut mit dem Rennrad befahrbar. Der Anstieg beginnt an der Alzette nahe des "Ascenseur de Pafendall", dort geht es vor dem Aufzug links ab zwischen ein paar Häusern hindurch (vorsicht, hier sind Poller zur Verkehrsberuhigung aufgestellt und aus der Richtung des Aufzugs kommen immer viele Touristen). Dann teilt sich die Straße. Nach links liegt die Rue Sosthène Weis, die asphaltiert ist und deutlich weniger steil. Auch diese lohnt einen kleinen Abstecher durch die Schlassbréck, wo man einen wunderbaren Blick auf die Kasematten und die Abtei Neumünster hat. Die Montée de Pafendall geht nach rechts ab, beginnt steil und bleibt steil, einer der steilsten Anstiege der Region. Oben befinden sich die drei Türme, die ebenfalls sehenswert sind. Die Aussicht ist hervorragend und geradeaus geht es in die Innenstadt.
