A nice climb starting in the centre of Gemmenich where people often cycle through in the direction of Vaals or the other way around. Then you turn left up a small road which after a few meters goes down and then through a few nice curves sometimes goes up towards a viaduct over the railway. Then the road becomes a dirt forest road, where I did see a car and some gravelbikers coming from. Along the way and from the viaduct a nice view to the left, to the Drielandenpunt.
Outside the built-up area the asphalt is pretty bad (quiet descent is the credo), although there is often a good track to find when climbing. Just before the viaduct there is a gravel piece (about 50 meters) after which there is a concrete surface until the viaduct.
Een mooi klimmetje beginnend in het centrum van Gemmenich waar veelvuldig doorheen wordt gefietst richting Vaals of andersom, Het begin loopt door een woonwijk pittig omhoog. Hier heb je tussen de huizen door soms uitzicht naar rechts Daarna linksaf omhoog een klein weggetje in wat na enkele meters gaat dalen en daarna via een paar fraaie slingers soms stevig omhoog gaat richting een viaduct over het spoor. Daarna wordt de weg een onverharde bosweg, waar ik overigens wel een auto en gravelbikers vandaan zag komen. Onderweg en vanaf het viaduct fraai uitzicht naar links, naar het Drielandenpunt.
Buiten de bebouwde kom is het asfalt behoorlijk slecht (rustig afdalen is het credo), al is er bij het klimmen vaak wel een goed spoortje te vinden. Vlak voor het viaduct is er nog een gravelstukje (zo'n 50 meter) waarna er tot het viaduct een betonnen ondergrond is.
