The climb starts when you enter the road towards Bracht between Steffenhausen and Reuland. For the first kilometre there is not much going on. That's false flat. On the north side of the village, you can then already see a road leading into the sky, so to speak. Entering the village, it goes up a bit steeper for a while and is followed by false flat again.

The climb starts when you enter the road towards Bracht between Steffenhausen and Reuland. For the first kilometre there is not much going on. That's false flat. On the north side of the village, you can then already see a road leading into the sky, so to speak. Entering the village, it goes up a bit steeper for a while and is followed by false flat again. As you ride out of the village you start to get the steepest 400 metres of the climb and ride on the road section that was already visible from the south side of the village. The overview shows 13-14% for this part of the climb. The Garmin tapped 17-18% on this section, so it is steeper than indicated. At the wooden hut after the steepest part, you are not there yet. The climb then continues for about's 600 metres. At the first houses of Maspelt, you are only at the top.

De klim start als je tussen Steffenhausen en Reuland de weg richting Bracht opgaat. De eerst kilometer is er niet zoveel aan de hand. Dat is vals plat. Aan de noordkant van het dorp zie je dan al een weg als het ware de hemel inlopen. Bij binnenrijden van het dorp loopt het even wat steiler omhoog en wordt het weer gevolgd door vals plat. Als je het dorp uitrijdt ga je de steilste 400 meter van de klim krijgen en rij je op het weggedeelte dat al vanaf de zuidkant van het dorp zichtbaar was. Het overzicht geeft 13-14% aan voor dit klimdeel. De Garmin tikte op dit stuk 17-18% aan en het is dus steiler als aangegeven. Bij het houten hutje na het steilste deel ben je er nog niet. De klim trekt dan nog zo'n 600 meter door. Bij de eerste huizen van Maspelt ben je pas op de top.

The beginning doesn't feel like a climb at all. But at one point you see a steep road running straight uphill in the distance. You think to yourself: it can't be? As you cycle on, you come to a village where it briefly goes up steeply. Then it soon flattens out again, but sometimes you do see a patch of that road again. At the end of the village you still have the chance to turn left for an easier variant. If you choose to go straight ahead anyway, you won't escape and you'll see the road in front of you going up quite steeply. And if you think you have reached the top at the little wooden hut, you will be disappointed. The steep part is over, but the climb continues uphill for a bit more. At the start of the next village, you are really at the top.

Het begin voelt helemaal niet als een klim. Maar op een gegeven moment zie je heel in de verte een steile weg recht omhoog lopen. Je denkt dan bij jezelf: dat zal toch niet? Als je verder fietst kom je in een dorpje waar het even kort stevig omhoog gaat. Daarna vlakt het echter snel weer af, maar zie je soms toch weer een flard van dat weggetje. Aan het eind van het dorpje heb je nog de kans om linksaf te slaan voor een makkelijkere variant. Als je ervoor kiest om toch rechtdoor te gaan dan ontkom je er niet meer aan en zie je de weg voor je flink steil omhoog lopen. En als je denkt dat je bij het houten hutje boven bent, dan kom je bedrogen uit. Het steile stuk zit er dan wel op, maar de klim loopt nog een stukje verder door omhoog. Aan het begin van het volgende dorpje ben je pas echt boven.

Worth a detour. The steepest part of some 400 meters goes straight up and goes up to above 17% and does not descend below 10%. Once that part is done, it continues less steep for a while. The steepest part is in an open field. The roads are good and narrow.

Een omweg waard om eens te doen. Het steilste stuk van enkele zo'n 400 meter gaat rechtdoor omhoog en gaat tot boven de 17% en daalt niet onder de 10%. Eenmaal dat stuk achter de rug is gaat het minder steil nog even door. Het steilste gedeelte ligt in een open veld. De wegen zijn goed en smal.
