Short climb from Milsbeek towards Sint Jansberg. Rises gradually with a short firmer section here and there. Nice location in the forest and soon at the top of the plateau near Groesbeek.

Kort klimmetje vanuit Milsbeek richting de Sint Jansberg. Stijgt geleidelijk met hier en daar een kort steviger stuk. Mooie ligging in het bos en snel boven op het plateau bij Groesbeek.

This one is quite nice! Nice road surface and winds up nicely with a steep section. Short enough to just keep going full speed, long enough that it gets uncomfortable. Highly recommended!

Deze is best leuk! Lekker wegdek en slingert mooi omhoog met een steil stukje. Kort genoeg om gewoon volle bak te blijven gaan, lang genoeg dat het ongemakkelijk wordt. Aanrader!

I checked back on Strava after last weekend's Ronde van Nijmegen, as this one barely registered in my legs and memory (if not for the road sign) and it looks like the gradient promised by said sign is nowhere to be found, maxing out around 9％, instead.
Nothing to write home about, but a fairly pleasant climb and descent right afterwards, with good tarmac and nice greenery as panorama

Tijdens de Ronde van Nijmegen (2024) gefietst. Ze kunnen er heel fancy een bordje 'col du .. ' neer zetten maar uiteindelijk is het niet een heel spannende beklimming. Op zijn Nederlands zeg maar.

Nice and partly tough climb up a winding road. At the start the sign "Col du St. Jean" (shouldn't that be on the summit?), still with Climbfinder sticker.
So nice climb but points deduction because of the huge traffic. There are nice bike lanes but they are of little use when cars's and especially the remarkably many trucks need that space too. That does take the fun down. But the climb is still too much fun to skip it for that reason.

Mooie en deels pittige klim over een slingerende weg naar boven. Bij het begin het bord "Col du St. Jean" (moet dat niet op de top staan?), nog steeds met Climbfinder-sticker.
Mooie klim dus maar wel puntenaftrek vanwege de enorme verkeersdrukte. Er zijn mooie fietsstroken maar die hebben weinig zin als auto's en vooral de opvallend vele vrachtwagens die ruimte ook nodig hebben. Dat haalt de pret wel naar beneden. Maar de klim is nog steeds toch te leuk om deze daarom over te slaan, ook vanwege het fraaie uitzicht na de top.

I like this climb every time. Because it is not so long, you can cycle up it at your own pace.

Ik vind dit elke keer weer een lekker klimmetje. Omdat ie niet zo lang is, kun je 'm lekker op tempo omhoog fietsen.

Nice short climb the percentage is not so bad because it is not long. Nice view plateau Bredeweg Groesbeek and connects nicely towards Kartenspielerweg Germany

Mooie korte klim het percentage valt mij mee omdat het niet lang is. Mooi vergezicht plateau Bredeweg Groesbeek en sluit mooi aan richting Kartenspielerweg Duitsland

Nice climb this. The road goes up between the woods, with several tight turns. Downhill you don't have to brake, because there are no side roads.

Mooie klim dit. De weg gaat tussen het bos door omhoog, met meerdere flauwe bochten. Bergaf hoef je niet te remmen, omdat er geen zijwegen zijn.

Nice climb to the plateau of Groesbeek. At the top beautiful view. Do you want to descend then immediately into Germany and drive along the edge of the forest down. From Kranenburg you can go up again.

Mooie klim naar het plateau van Groesbeek. Bovenaan mooi uitzicht. Wil je heerlijk afdalen ga dan onmiddellijk Duitsland in en rij langs de bosrand omlaag. Vanuit Kranenburg kun je weer omhoog.

The climb is not very special and is over before you know it. The surroundings are beautiful once you're up there.

De klim is niet zo heel bijzonder en is voorbij voor je er erg in hebt. De omgeving is wel prachtig als je eenmaal boven bent.

Not long, not difficult, but beautifully situated. Good to find your rhythm and let your heart rate go up. Possibly eat a pancake first, although that extra fuel is not necessarily needed for this climb :). At the top it is nice to go in the direction of Germany, the scenery changes immediately!

Niet lang, niet moeilijk, maar wel mooi gelegen. Goed om even rustig je ritme te vinden en je hartslag wat om hoog te laten gaan. Eventueel eerst een pannenkoekje eten beneden, al is die extra brandstof niet per se nodig voor deze klim :). Bovenaan is het leuk om richting Duitsland te gaan, de omgeving verandert direct!
