Nice climb from the Bovenstraat in Noorbeek to Ulvend. Is a bit careful where to go from Bovenstraat between B&B's St. Brigida and Walnut Lodge onto Vroelenstraat. Apart from two steeper sections (right at the start and after a referral sign to Hof van Ulvend estate) not really tough. If you're in the area definitely a "must" to do as is the parallel St. Maartensweg.

Leuke klim vanaf de Bovenstraat in Noorbeek naar Ulvend. Is wel even opletten waar je vanaf de Bovenstraat tussen B&B's St. Brigida en Walnut Lodge de Vroelenstraat op moet rijden. Op twee steilere stukken na (gelijk aan het begin en na een verwijsbord naar landgoed Hof van Ulvend) niet echt zwaar. Als je in de buurt bent zeker een "must" om te doen net als de parallel lopende St. Maartensweg.

At the Herberg Sint Brigida (with a large tree in the front garden) take the small road. Between the houses it is a bit steeper, but soon you leave the built-up area and enter the countryside. Sometimes half-timbered houses along the route. After the bend to the left there is a steeper part to the farm. After that, if you have turned right, it is only slightly uphill. In this part sometimes nice views and just before Ulvend you can look into Belgium on the right side. Good tarmac.

Bij de Herberg Sint Brigida (met een flinke boom in de voortuin) het kleine weggetje inslaan. Tussen de huizen is het even steiler maar al snel verlaat je de bebouwde kom en ga je het buitengebied in. Soms vakwerkhuizen langs de route. Na de bocht naar links nog even een steiler stukje naar de boerderij. Als je daarna rechtsaf bent geslagen is het nog maar lichtjes stijgend. In dit deel soms mooi uitzicht en vlak voor Ulvend kan je aan de rechterkant mooi België in kijken. Goed asfalt.

Pay attention in Noorbeek where you have to turn off, the climb starts right away by the buildings, this is also the most difficult part, after this it remains long undulating through open landscape until Ulvend. After Noorbeek it becomes an old-fashioned power climb where you can throw on the outside blade if you can. Keep in mind that you have to follow the right road. In Ulvend turn right to descend towards Sint Maartens Voeren and the climb of the Plank (free tip).

Goed opletten in Noorbeek waar je af moet slaan, de klim begint gelijk op te lopen door de bebouwing, dit is ook gelijk het lastigste gedeelte, hierna blijft hij wel lang golvend doorlopen door open landschap tot Ulvend. Na Noorbeek wordt het een ouderwetse powerklim waarbij hem als je kunt op het buitenblad kunt gooien. Wel blijven opletten dat je de goed weg blijft volgen. In Ulvend rechtsaf slaan om te dalen richting Sint Maartens Voeren en de beklimming van de Plank (gratis tip).

At St. Brigida restaurant turn right (coming from Mehr). At holiday homes Zavelberg it flattens out and continues to Hof van Ulvend.

Bij restaurant St. Brigida rechts in (komend vanaf Mehr). Bij vakantiewoningen Zavelberg vlak hij af en loopt hij door tot aan Hof van Ulvend.

What a rotten thing in the beginning in terms of gradient. Fortunately, the 2nd part in terms of percentages and environment much more pleasant. There are better alternatives nearby.

Wat een rotding in het begin qua hellingsgraad. Gelukkig is het 2e gedeelte qua percentages en omgeving een stuk aangenamer. Er zijn betere alternatieven vlakbij.

Annoying little climb in the direction of Ulvend. It starts steep and you can't bring any speed because you start almost from a standstill. Once at the top you enter an open field where the wind will play a big role. With a strong wind it is really no fun.

Vervelend klimmetje richting Ulvend. Het begint steil en je kan geen snelheid meenemen omdat je bijna uit stilstand begint. Eenmaal boven kom je in een open veld waar de wind een grote rol zal spelen. Bij harde wind is dat echt geen pretje.
