Nice climb, especially first part. At the end, when you think you are there, you have to work hard on an open straight until well into the village.... read more

A nice long climb with good tarmac. The big disadvantage here is that there is quite a lot of car traffic on this climb. In that respect, this climb is very similar to the nearby climb to Vossenack. But I personally like this climb better and I also like the views on top of Schmidt better than on Vossenack. So highly recommended, and great to combine in a round trip: Rennweg - Schmidt (from Nideggen) - Vossenack

Een fijne lange klim met goed asfalt. Het grote nadeel hier is dat er vrij veel autoverkeer is op deze beklimming. Wat dat betreft lijkt deze klim erg op de nabijgelegen klim naar Vossenack. Maar deze klim vind ik persoonlijk mooier én de uitzichten bovenop Schmidt vind ik ook mooier dan op Vossenack. Dus aanrader, en prima te combineren in een rondje: Rennweg - Schmidt (vanuit Nideggen) - Vossenack

Mooie klim, vooral eerste stuk. Aan het eind, wanneer je denkt dat je er bent, moet je op een open recht stuk nog flink aan de bak tot ver in het dorpje.

From Nideggen, the lovely tarmac road winds its way uphill at moderate percentages. The forest is a pleasure, especially later in the year (autumn colours). Once out of the forest, the road goes straight to Schmidt with first an almost flat piece, but towards the end it goes up again (for me the hardest part)

Vanuit Nideggen slingert de mooi geasfalteerde weg omhoog met matige percentages. In het bos is het genieten, vooral wat later op het jaar (herfstkleuren). Eenmaal uit het bos gaat de weg recht aan recht toe naar Schmidt met eerst nog een bijna vlak stukje, maar naar het einde toe wordt het weer pittig op de pedalen duwen (voor mij is dit het zwaarste stuk)

Nice climb in the Eifel. Especially the first part is nice and winding, first between the houses, then between the fields and the forest. When exiting the forest you think you're there, because so many climbs in this area level off to the top, but nothing is further from the truth, when you've turned into the village you really get a tough piece of climbing. In the village I enjoyed a nice bread roll from the bakery several times. The advantage of this region is that the villages are often above, instead of in the valley, so you have time to digest your food for the next effort.

Mooie klim in de Eifel. Vooral het eerste stuk lekker slingerend, eerste stuk tussen de huizen, daarna tussen de weilanden en het bos. Bij het uitrijden van het bos denk je er te zijn, omdat zoveel klimmen in deze omgeving afvlakken naar de top, maar niets is minder waar, als je het dorp in bent gedraaid krijg je echt nog een stevig stukje klimmen. In het dorpje heb ik meermaals genoten van een lekker broodje van de bakker. Voordeel van deze regio is dat de dorpjes vaak boven liggen, ipv in het dal, zodat je tijd hebt om je eten een beetje te verteren voor de volgende inspanning.
