Interessanter als de rijksweg, stevig klimmetje over een goede weg

Very nice climb - still particularly steep and tricky in the first part (you cycle between the trees). Ideal alternative to the busy national road.

Zeer leuke klim - nog bijzonder steil en lastig in het eerste deel (je fietst tussen de bomen door). Ideaal alternatief voor de drukke Rijksweg.

Quiet road that is much nicer than the busy national road. In winter there is a bucket of shit on the road, though. Apart from that: lovely and quiet with excellent tarmac!

Rustige weg die veel fijner is dan de drukke rijksweg. In de winter ligt er wel een bak stront op de weg. Los daarvan: heerlijk rustig met prima asfalt!

Beautiful and tough climb that runs parallel to the climb of Heerderberg (N-278). The advantage over that climb is the relative calm on St. Joseph (no/nearly no traffic). From the Akersteenweg, turn onto Pater Kustersweg between the hotel and the petrol pump. At the level of the football pitch, the steeper part of this climb starts and continues up the Trichterweg. From the point where there are a few pollard willows to the left of the road, it flattens out until the roundabout in Cadier en Keer.

Mooie en pittige klim die parallel loopt aan de klim van de Heerderberg (N-278). Voordeel t.o.v. die klim is de relatieve rust op St. Joseph (geen/nauwelijks verkeer). Vanaf de Akersteenweg ga je tussen het hotel en de benzinepomp de Pater Kustersweg op. Ter hoogte van het voetbalveld begint het steilere stuk van deze klim en dat loopt door tot op de Trichterweg. Vanaf het punt waar links van de weg een paar knotwilgen staan vlakt het tot de rotonde in Cadier en Keer af.

Much better alternative than the regular road to Gulpen. Nice among the greenery. As sidetrack of the national road, definitely choose this one

A much nicer - and tougher - climb than the cycle path along the national road, and they have almost the same starting and finishing points. First relaxed towards the youth care centre, then left along the high fence where the road becomes steeper and steeper. And left and then right (so actually almost straight on) into a very narrow and especially very steep road. It is really hard work here. A little later, the road flattens out and becomes more of a hollow road. In the end, it is a long climb until you reach Cadier en Keer. A nice, varied and quiet climb. Few views, but it is nice to look back at the top of the steep part. Mostly good tarmac.

Een heel wat leukere - en pittigere - klim dan het fietspad langs de Rijksweg, en ze hebben vrijwel hetzelfde begin- en eindpunt. Eerst relaxed richting de jeugdzorginstelling, dan links langs het hoge hek waarbij de weg steeds steiler wordt. En links en dan rechts (dus eigenlijk vrijwel rechtdoor) een heel smal en vooral flink steil weggetje in. Hier is het echt even aanpoten. Even later vlakt de weg af en wordt meer een holle weg. Uiteindelijk wordt het uitfietsen tot je Cadier en Keer bereikt. Een leuke, veelzijdige en rustige klim. Weinig uitzicht, wel is het leuk achterom kijken bovenaan het steile stuk. Overwegend goed asfalt.

Steep approach along a very high fence of the youth prison, just in time to catch our breath and then a very steep 200m. Nice route to avoid the boring road up to Cadier en Keer. Locally it reaches the 15%. Last 600m can't be called a climb anymore.

Steile aanloop langs een heel hoog hek van de jeugdgevangenis, net op tijd een 10 meter om op adem te komen en dan nog een zeer steile 200m . Mooie route om de saaie weg omhoog naar Cadier en Keer te mijden. Haalt lokaal de 15%. Laatste 600m mag je geen klim meer noemen.

A nice warming-up that goes on longer than you think at the start. You climb past an impressive building: the old Huize Sint Joseph, a guardianship institute from 1912.

Leuke opwarmer die langer doorgaat dan je bij de start denkt. Je klimt langs een indrukwekkend gebouw: het oude Huize Sint Joseph, een voogdijgesticht uit 1912.

Most difficult climb on the east side of Maastricht. Runs parallel to the provincial road, but this is a much nicer, quieter and steeper alternative.

Moeilijkste beklimming aan de oostkant van Maastricht. Loopt parallel aan de provinciale weg, alleen is dit een veel mooier, rustiger en steiler alternatief.

The Sint Joseph is not terribly long or difficult, but it has such a typical bushy beautiful Limburg look. The middle part goes up as well. The road is very quiet and the road surface very nice.

De Sint Joseph is niet vreselijk lang of moeilijk, maar het heeft zo’n kenmerkend bossig mooi Limburgse aankleding. Het middenstuk gaat ook nog lekker omhoog. De weg is heerlijk rustig en het wegdek heel aardig.

Very nice climb to get the gas going after the chicane.
The approach and exit are not worth mentioning but the middle part is a nice climb.
Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.

Erg leuke klim om na de chicane het gas vol open te trekken.
De aan en uitloop mag geen naam hebben maar het middenstuk is even lekker klimmen.
Zeker de moeite waard als je in de buurt bent.

Avoid the N278 and take this road if you want to go up from Maastricht to Cadier en Keer. Much nicer, more quiet and more beautiful.

Mijdt de N278 en pak deze weg als je vanuit Maastricht omhoog wilt naar Cadier en Keer. Veel fijner, rustiger en mooier.
