Very nice climb. As you arrive by bike, you can see in the distance that there is a nice hill in the forest. After the turn, you are treated to cobbles that look fine but make it just a little bit trickier.... read more

Less steep than the climb to the Fat Hippo but definitely a nice one because runs through beautiful surroundings and has a nice end point with the tower. The approach is gentle but just before the forest edge and the junction it rises sharply, after which you keep right twice.

Nice climb, but from the end of the long straight road up not particularly spectacular. The view to the right is!

Huh? First you drive through a quiet old residential area in the middle of Arnhem, you turn right and suddenly you find yourself in a hilly landscape with meadows, an old farmhouse and here and there a tree. A big surprise indeed. As soon as you turn right on top of the hill, you find yourself on ancient cobblestones and it gets steeper and heavier. Do look to the right, because you can see very far. On top there is an old water tower? Don't skip it if you're in the area.

Surprising climb in surprisingly quiet surroundings. Be careful to take the right turn in the direction of the Stone Table, otherwise you end up on the Hommelseweg.

It does not get much better than this in Arnhem; you leave the buildings with a small park and a pond on your left hand, then you are surrounded by green hills with various four-legged animals which seem to enjoy it as much as yours truly does, and once you have rounded the corner you are treated to beautiful views. No, it's not a heavyweight (but which climb is in these parts?)... But what a jewel for the eye!

It is true that this way you reach the Stone Table, but the climb is less difficult than when you end up on the Hommelseweg.

@Marine you are absolutely right. I have adjusted it!

The map is not quite right. After the turn to the hommelseweg, the climb immediately turns right again on the "road to the stone table"...

They say the devil is in the tail. And that is certainly true for this climb. The end is a bit tricky but the first part is not much. It is better / nicer than the Hommelseweg.

Not too hard but a nice climb; I think it is about 13 to 14 % just before and in the bend (where Hommelseweg and Bosweg come together). This makes the Stone Table just a bit harder than the Hommelseweg.
