Varied link climb that starts solid, then flattens out and picks up towards the end. Beautiful, quiet setting, although it can get a bit crowded on the larger road.... read more

Varied link climb that starts solid, then flattens out and picks up towards the end. Beautiful, quiet setting, although it can get a bit crowded on the larger road.

Gevarieerde verbindingsklim die stevig begint, daarna afvlakt en richting het einde weer aantrekt. Mooie, rustige omgeving, al kan het op de grotere weg wat drukker worden.

Mainly fun because of its length and beautiful scenery. In terms of climbing, not very special.

Vooral leuk vanwege de lengte en de mooie omgeving. Qua klim niet heel bijzonder.

In Vijlen, descend Vijlenstraat from the junction at restaurant Uit de Kunst. At the farm on the left, the climb starts and at the first junction keep left towards Epen. Where you turn right follows (until a white house at the edge of the forest) the steepest part of the climb. After this it flattens out but you have to keep pedalling to get to Rugweg at the top of the climb.

in Vijlen daal je vanaf de splitsing bij restaurant Uit de Kunst de Vijlenstraat af. Bij de boerderij aan de linkerkant begint de klim en op de eerste splitsing hou je links aan richting Epen. Waar je rechtsaf gaat volgt (tot een wit huis aan de bosrand) het steilste deel van de klim. Hierna vlakt het af maar moet je wel blijven trappen om tot de Rugweg op de top van de klim te komen.

A nice climb with a beautiful view. On a quiet little road, you ride through an open landscape towards the forest. Despite never reaching double figures in terms of gradient, it felt pretty tough to me. I had the feeling that I wanted to go faster, but that I could not. As soon as you enter the forest, the hardest part is over.

Een leuke klim met een mooi uitzicht. Over een rustige kleine weg rijd je door een open landschap richting het bos. Ondanks dat het nooit in de dubbele cijfers komt qua stijgingspercentage, voelde het voor mij toch best pittig. Ik had het gevoel wel harder te willen, maar niet te kunnen. Zodra je het bos in rijdt heb je het zwaarste gehad.

After a short drive from Vijlen the climb starts immediately and continues to rise considerably. Beautiful surroundings with nice views to the left. The white house at the edge of the forest is a nice target. After that it gets flatter in the forest. Finally the climb turns left, with a small steep part. If you go straight on the descent follows with hairpin bends to Buitenlust.

Na een korte vanuit Vijlen gaat de klim meteen van start en deze blijft flink stijgen. Mooie omgeving met fraai uitzicht naar links. Het witte huis aan de bosrand is een mooi mikpunt. Daarna wordt het in het bos vlakker. Uiteindelijk gaat de klim linksaf, met nog een klein steil stukje. Als je rechtdoor gaat volgt de mooie afdaling met haarspeldbochten naar Buitenlust.

Nice climb in beautiful surroundings. Road surface is good. And even though it is not really hard anywhere, you cycle uphill and you feel that automatically. For the lesser climbers: go a bit lighter in the first kilometres. That little less effort pays off in the rest of the course.

Mooie klim in een prachtige omgeving. Wegdek is prima. En ook al is het nergens echt heel zwaar, je fietst bergop en dat voel je vanzelf. Voor de mindere klimgeiten: pak in de eerste kilometer een tandje lichter. Dat beetje minder inspanning betaalt zich terug in het verdere verloop.

You should not underestimate this climb. In the first half there are quite steep parts. Instead of turning left, I find the descent to Buitenlust more interesting.

Deze klim moet je niet onderschatten. Er zitten namelijk in de eerste helft redelijk steile stukken in. Ipv linksaf vind ik de afdaling naar Buitenlust interessanter.

Nice climb to bike. In the descent you have to be careful, halfway when you come at full speed there is a right turn in the road. Someone will fall hard there, because at full speed it is difficult to pass that bend.

Mooie klim om te fietsen. In de afdaling moet je wel goed oppassen, halverwege als je op volle snelheid komt zit er een knik naar rechts in de weg. Daar zal ooit nog iemand hard vallen, want met volle snelheid is het lastig die bocht te halen.

Nice gradual climb from the valley of the Lombergbeek under Vijlen to the Vijlenerbos. You climb soon through fields, where you as you look around have beautiful views of Vijlen. Nowhere really heavy. Not as busy as for example the Camerig, but still regular traffic when the weather is nicer. After the fields you enter the beautiful Vijlenerbos, but here you hardly climb anymore.

Mooie geleidelijke klim vanuit het dal van de Lombergbeek onder Vijlen naar het Vijlenerbos. Je klimt al gauw door akkers, waarbij je als je om kijkt mooi uitzicht hebt op Vijlen. Nergens echt zwaar. Niet zo druk als bijv. de Camerig, maar toch regelmatig verkeer als het wat mooier weer is. Na de akkers rijd je het mooie Vijlenerbos in, maar hier klim je nauwelijks meer.

Nice climb, especially the first kilometer hard, then it becomes easy. Is often driven to descend from Vijlen over the Camerig to Epen.

Mooi klim, vooral eerste kilometer zwaar, daarna wordt het gemakkelijk. Wordt vaak gereden om van Vijlen over de Camerig naar Epen af te dalen.

Nice climb, nice quiet road where the sun can burn mercilessly. Instead of going left, you can also descend a bit (at the hairpin bends of the Groeneweg) and then continue the climb.

Leuke klim, mooi rustig weggetje waar de zon ongenadig hard kan branden. In plaats van linksaf gaan, kan je ook weer een stukje afdalen (bij de haarspeldbochten van de Groeneweg) en dan weer verder klimmen.
