First a false flat through a village, then a short steep wall within a curve with approx. 12 per cent. The ascent then stabilises at around 4 per cent, although the going is good. At the end of the built-up area, it flattens out, the road surface deteriorates and you cycle through a beautiful forest, albeit without any views. At the end there is another short ramp. Here you can gain relatively many metres in altitude with comparatively little effort.... read more

Zunächst eine falsche Ebene durch ein Dorf, anschließend eine kurze steile Wand innerhalb einer Kurve mit ca. 12 Prozent. Anschließend stabilisiert sich der Anstieg auf ca. 4 Prozent wobei es gut laufend ist.
Am Ende der Bebauung wird es flacher, der Straßenbelag schlechter und man fährt durch einen schönen Wald allerdings ohne Aussichten. Am Ende kommt nochmal eine kurze Rampe.
Hier kann man relativ viele Höhenmeter mit vergleichsweise wenig Anstrengung gewinnen.

Nice climb from Raeren through the Vennbusch to the north side of the reservoir near Eupen. It starts gently but at the end of the first kilometre there is a steeper section that then flattens out. After more than two kilometres you get about 1½ kilometres of false flat. At the last, it then rises again a bit.

Leuke klim vanuit Raeren door het Vennbusch naar de noordkant van het stuwmeer bij Eupen. Het begint rustig maar aan het einde van de eerste kilometer volgt een steiler stukje dat daarna afvlakt. Na ruim twee kilometer krijg je ongeveer 1½ kilometer vals plat. Op het laatste loopt het dan weer wat op.

Fairly relaxed climb in two phases. After a gentle start, the road climbs steadily until you leave the built-up area. In the forest, it gets a little bit relaxed with false flat after which the end climbs again. For the most part good tarmac but there are some lesser stretches. No view further but the forest is nice and quiet in terms of traffic.

Redelijk relaxte klim in twee fases. Na een rustig begin is het even aanzetten waarna de weg lekker blijft stijgen tot je de bebouwde kom hebt verlaten. In het bos wordt het even ontspannen met vals plat waarna het eind weer even oploopt. Voor het grootste deel goed asfalt maar er zitten wat mindere stukken tussen. Geen uitzicht verder maar het bos is leuk en lekker rustig qua verkeer.
