The very first time I did this climb was in 1989. Having just finished high school, I went on a cycling holiday with four friends, so we rode up with touring bikes and about 15 kilos of luggage. We already had the climb from Wilwerwiltz to Merkholz in our legs, so man how we looked off towards Nocher. We then did the climb several times on the road bike and it's actually not that bad. After crossing road 25, it is a nice little road along a stream uphill with lots of shade on the road. T... read more

The very first time I did this climb was in 1989. Having just finished high school, I went on a cycling holiday with four friends, so we rode up with touring bikes and about 15 kilos of luggage. We already had the climb from Wilwerwiltz to Merkholz in our legs, so man how we looked off towards Nocher.

We then did the climb several times on the road bike and it's actually not that bad. After crossing road 25, it is a nice little road along a stream uphill with lots of shade on the road. The moment you leave the forest, you see Nocher houses above you and realise you're almost there already.
Nice little climb and little to no traffic.

De allereerste keer dat ik deze klim deed was in 1989. Net klaar met middelbare school ging ik met 4 vrienden op fietsvakantie, dus we reden met toerfietsen en een kilo of 15 bagage omhoog. We hadden de klim van Wilwerwiltz naar Merkholz al in de benen, dus man wat zagen we af richting Nocher.

Daarna de klim nog een aantal malen op de racefiets gedaan en eigenlijk valt het best mee. Nadat je weg 25 bent overgestoken is het een fraai weggetje langs een beekje omhoog met lekker veel schaduw op de weg. Op het moment dat je het bos uitkomt zie je boven je huizen van Nocher en besef je dat je er al bijna bent.
Lekker klimmetje en weinig tot geen verkeer.
