Longer "false flat" climb from Bocholtz to the plateau between Bocholtz and Seffent. Outside Bocholtz, you take a hollow road towards the border where you have to navigate between concrete blocks. A narrow asphalt path takes you to the bridge over the Bocholtz-Vetschau railway line and you come to a wider road. Then take the 1st road on the right into Oschenstock towards the windmills. By the way, the entire road surface from Oschenstock to Orsbacherstrasse is very bad.
Langere "vals plat" klim vanuit Bocholtz naar het plateau tussen Bocholtz en Seffent. Buiten Bocholtz ga je over een holle weg richting de grens waar je tussen betonblokken door moet laveren. Via een smal asfaltpad kom je bij de brug over de spoorlijn Bocholtz-Vetschau en kom je op een bredere weg. Vervolgens 1e weg rechtsaf Oschenstock oprijden richting de windmolens. Het gehele wegdek van Oschenstock tot aan de Orsbacherstrasse is overigens bar slecht.
Relaxed climb in a very varied environment. From the center of Bocholtz slightly uphill to the east. Outside the built-up area you immediately dive into a nice hollow road with further on the border obstacles which you have to cross. After that the road becomes a narrow asphalt bike path until the bridge over the railway. In between you'll encounter dragon's teeth (anti-tank barrier). After the bridge descend a little and then sharp right up to the windmills. At the end you have a wide view from Orsbach to Kerkrade.
Relaxte klim in een zeer gevarieerde omgeving. Vanuit het "centrum" van Bocholtz lichtjes omhoog naar het oosten. Buiten de bebouwde kom duik je meteen een mooie holle weg in met verderop op de grens obstakels waar je tussendoor moet. Daarna wordt het weggetje een smal asfaltfietspad tot de brug over het spoor. Tussentijds kom je nog drakentanden (anti-tank versperring) tegen. Na de brug iets afdalen en daarna scherp rechts omhoog naar de windmolens. Op het eind breed uitzicht van Orsbach tot Kerkrade.
