For me, the more boring side of the Rohrberg. The first few metres are on a terrible cobblestone path, after which the climb really begins and the gradient is high, but not constant. At the summit you have a beautiful view over the region.... read more

Für mich die langweiliger Seite des Rohrbergs. Die ersten Meter auf einem furchtbaren Kopfsteinpfalster, danach fängt der Anstieg erst richtig an und es geht mit hohen Prozenten nach oben, ohne jedoch konstant zu sein. Auf dem Gipfel hat man eine schöne Aussicht über die Region.

You are in Germany but briefly feel as if you are in Belgium as you drive over cobblestones for the first 200 metres. At the T-junction, turn left. Until the point where the meadow starts on the left side of the road, the ascent is not too bad. Then it climbs steadily to the top. To the left, there are nice views towards Aachen, including the Klinikum. The cobbled section is also the first part of the ascent Rohrberg North.

Je bent in Duitsland maar waant je even in België i.v.m. dat je de eerste 200 meter over kasseien over rijdt. Op de T-splitsing dan linksaf. Tot punt waar aan linkerzijde van de weg het weiland begint valt stijging nog mee. Daarna loopt het tot aan de top gestaag omhoog. Naar links mooi uitzicht richting Aken met o.a. het Klinikum. Het kasseiendeel is ook het eerste stuk van de beklimming Rohrberg Noord.

Less difficult than the other climb from Seffent, but this one is also worthwhile, although not very long. The first part is bouncing cobblestones and then it goes up hard on tarmac. After turning left it becomes almost flat and exactly at that point the tarmac is worthless. Further on the tarmac gets a lot better and the road climbs steeply again. Shortly thereafter you have the endpoint in sight. The way up (especially when you turn left) has beautiful views on Aachen and the valley in front of it.

Minder zwaar dan de andere klim vanuit Seffent maar deze mag er ook wezen, ondanks dat deze (ook) niet lang is. Het eerste deel stuiterende kasseien en daarna gaat het hard op asfalt omhoog. Na linksaf geslagen te zijn wordt het vrijwel vlak en precies op die plek is het asfalt waardeloos. Verderop wordt het asfalt weer een stuk beter en gaat de weg weer goed steil omhoog. Kort daarna heb je het eindpunt in beeld. De weg boven (vooral als je linksaf slaat) heeft prachtige uitzichten op Aachen en het dal er voor.

If you cycle along here you see an ascending cobblestone road between the houses disappear and you become naturally curious. In the end it is not that bad and it is "only" 200 meters of cobblestones at reasonable percentages. Those first 200 meters you just have to hit it full force to get through. After the turn you can take the pressure off your legs for a while and then you have to push hard again for the last 250 meters.

Als je hier langs fietst zie je een oplopend kassei weggetje tussen de huizen verdwijnen en wordt je vanzelf nieuwsgierig. Uiteindelijk valt het mee en zijn het "maar" 200 meter kasseien aan toch wel redelijke percentages. Die eerste 200 meter moet je gewoon vol op rammen om er door te komen. Na de bocht kun je even de druk van de benen halen om daarna de laatste 250 steile meters weer hard te moeten duwen.
