A sheltered climb with very little traffic. For the first kilometre, you think you've taken a wrong turn somewhere, the bike rolls so easily over the asphalt, but it suddenly becomes more difficult at the start of the first hairpin bends. In addition, the open view of the A45 motorway bridge, which is embedded in the green landscape, reveals just how high you still have to climb. However, you can easily find your rhythm and are hardly disturbed by the sheltered location of the climb. From the village of Rumscheid, the pressure drops and you shift back into higher gears. There are then two more waves to the 10%, but these are not a challenge if you have saved up or recovered a few grains.

Ein geschützt gelegener Anstieg mit ausgesprochen wenig Verkehr. Auf dem ersten Kilometer denkt man noch man wäre irgendwo falsch abgebogen, so leicht rollt das Rad über den Asphalt, doch mit dem Start der ersten Kehren wird es schlagartig schwieriger. Zudem offenbart der offene Blick auf die Autobahnbrücke der A45, die sich in die grüne Landschaft einbettet, wie hoch man noch klettern muss. Man kann aber gut seinen Rythmus finden und wird durch die geschützte Lage des Anstiegs eben kaum dabei gestört. Ab der Ortschaft Rumscheid fällt der Druck dann ab, man schaltet wieder in höhere Gänge. Es gibt anschließend noch zwei Wellen an die 10%, die aber keine besondere Herausforderung sind, sollte man sich noch ein paar Körner aufgespart oder zwischenzeitlich zurückgeholt haben. Der Straßenbelag ist okay, aber keineswegs so schlimm, dass er wirklich stört.

The climb starts in a small side valley and is hardly noticeable. Soon it goes slowly, somewhat irregularly up along a stream through a beech forest. After you come out of the forest, the road goes steep up and you understand why there are hairpin bends in it. When you're almost at the top, you come between meadows and you can enjoy the view. In the hamlet Rumscheid you think to be at the end of the climb, but if you continue to Rölvede, you still climb quite a bit. All in all a nice climb.

De klim begint in een klein zijdal en val nauwelijks op. Al snel gaat het langzaam, ietwat onregelmatig stijgend langs een beek door een beukenbos. Nadat jet uit het bos komt gaat de weg steil omhoog en snap je waarom er haarspeldbochten in zitten. Ben je bijna boven, dan kom je tussen weilanden en kun je genieten van het uitzicht. In het gehucht Rumscheid denk je aan het eind van de klim te zijn, maar als je doorrijdt naar Rölvede, dan stijg je toch nog een best stuk. Al met al een mooie klim.
