Felt significantly steeper than the profile would suggest.

This climb should be on your Eifel bucket list:

- To get to the beautiful bridge, you have to cycle along the Urft through a gorge on a crazy gravel road. From Gemünd, it is definitely suitable for road bikes.
- The start is winding but with silky smooth asphalt.
- Not only is Vogelsang impressive and unique, so are the views.

After you pass the gatehouse, you do unfortunately have to cycle on a hugely wide windy road. Looks like a runway. But this climb is so unique that it should be high on your list.

Deze klim moet op je Eifel-bucketlist:

- Om bij de prachtige brug te komen moet je langs de Urft fietsen door een kloof over een waanzinnige gravelweg. Vanaf Gemünd is deze zeker geschikt voor racefietsen.
- Het begin is loeisteil maar wel met zijdezacht asfalt.
- Niet alleen Vogelsang is indrukwekkend en uniek, ook het uitzicht.

Nadat je het poortgebouw bent gepasseerd moet je helaas wel over een enorm brede winderige weg fietsen. Lijkt wel een landingsbaan. Maar deze klim is zo uniek dat ie hoog op je lijst mag.

Vogelsang: an impressive old Nazi site in the middle of the Eifel! Short but punchy, definitely a climb you must have done once. Climb is not necessarily pretty, you drive up between the trees and then come out at the barracks, which you then drive around again with a steep puff to get to the compound. In the lower, steep part, watch out for walkers, but once at the top you have the space. Once there, be sure to stop for a photo!

Vogelsang: een imponerende, oude Nazi-locatie middenin in de Eifel! Kort maar pittig, absoluut een klimmetje die je eens gedaan moet hebben. Klimmetje is niet per se mooi, je rijdt tussen de bomen omhoog en komt dan uit op de barakken, daar rijdt je dan nog eens met een steile poef omheen om op de compound uit te komen. In het onderste, steile stuk opletten voor wandelaars, maar eenmaal boven heb je de ruimte. Aldaar aangekomen zeker even stoppen voor een foto!

From the bridge up to Vogelzang, old military barracks and former NAZI training camp. Short but very spicy. In autumn lots of leaves on the course. Not really fun but cool challenge

Van de brug naar boven tot aan Vogelzang, oude militaire kazerne en voorheen NAZI trainingskamp. Kort maar heel pittig. In herfst heel veel bladeren op de baan. Niet echt leuk wel toffe uitdaging
