Very nice climb, with a nice approach route through the woods. You cycle under a busy highway junction, which you hardly notice, and then the road starts to climb quite fast. Back in the forest this continues for a while, before you follow a long straight road with a more irregular climb. You can even go around it (on asphalt) but that's a tight bend.... read more

Nice quiet cycle path from the Veluwe to the Open Air Museum. No hefty percentages.

Leuk rustig fietspad vanuit de Veluwe naar het Openlucht Museum. Geen heftige percentages.

Very nice way to enter Arnhem from the north, with a spectacular start with tunnels, viaducts and some curves after which (after a WW2 memorial) a straight uphill avenue through a beautiful forest stretches out in front of you. Fine tarmac, moreover. The barrier indicates the highest point. You can easily go around it but via a tight tarmac path.

Heel fraaie manier om Arnhem vanuit het noorden binnen te komen, met een spectaculair begin met tunneltjes, viaducten en wat bochten waarna (na een WO2-monument) een rechte stijgende laan door een mooi bos zich voor je uitstrekt. Prima asfalt bovendien. De slagboom geeft het hoogste punt aan. Je kan er goed omheen maar wel via een krap asfaltpaadje.

The climb itself is not very special (though there is a beautiful forest and Open Air Museum to your right). But altitude metres and the approach through the forest make it worth a detour.

De klim an sich is niet heel bijzonder (wel een fraai bos en Openlucht Museum aan je rechterhand). Maar bij mekaar toch wat hoogtemeters en de aanloop door het bos maakt deze toch zeker het omrijden waard.

I drove by car here so often via the Waterberg junction and then saw that beckoning cycle path. You hardly notice that you are crossing a busy highway. In any case, this is a much nicer way to enter Arnhem from the north than via the Apeldoornseweg. And as a climb it is still a bit of a challenge.

Hier ben ik met de auto zo vaak langs gereden over knooppunt Waterberg en dan zag ik dat lonkende fietspad liggen. Je merkt inderdaad bijna niet dat je een drukke snelweg doorkruist. Dit is in ieder geval een veel mooiere manier om vanuit het noorden Arnhem binnen te komen dan via de Apeldoornseweg. En als beklimming bijt ie nog best een beetje.

Heel aardig klimmetje, met een mooie aanlooproute door het bos. Je fietst onder een druk snelwegknooppunt door, wat je vrijwel niet doorhebt, en daarna gaat de weg vrij snel stijgen. Terug in het bos blijft dat even doorgaan, voordat je over een lange rechtdoorgaande weg wat onregelmatiger klimt en het uiteindelijk helemaal afvlakt. Wel even oppassen voor de houten slagboom die dcht kan staan, je kunt er omheen (over asfalt zelfs) maar dat is een krap bochtje.
