Alternative climb to the approach from Rozendaal. Like that climb, this variant is a nice long gradual climb over cobbles and good tarmac. At the top of Bovenallee (halfway up the climb), a trip to the Emmapiramide certainly pays off! If you climb this wooden pyramid, you'll be treated to a beautiful panoramic view of the Posbank and of Velp and Arnhem.... read more

Alternatieve klim ten opzichte van de benadering uit Rozendaal. Net als die klim is ook deze variant een mooie lange geleidelijke klim over klinkers en goed asfalt. Bovenop de Bovenallee (halverwege de klim) loont een uitstapje naar de Emmapiramide zeker! Als je deze houten piramide beklimt wordt je getrakteerd op een prachtig panoramisch uitzicht over de Posbank en op Velp en Arnhem.

Through a residential area, you will ride on a mostly clinker road into the forest. At the junction with the main road you turn right after which the rest of the climb will be on fine tarmac. The road climbs nicely after which there is a particularly nice descent with lovely curves. At the car park, keep left and follow the asphalt road (i.e. not the cycle path) after which there is another nice section with some bends up to the highest point. Nowhere high percentages but the length makes itself felt.

Via een villawijk rijdt je over een voor het grootste deel klinkerweg het bos in. Op de kruising met de voorrangsweg ga je rechtsaf waarna de rest van de klim over prima asfalt zal plaatsvinden. De weg loopt leuk op waarna er een bijzonder fraaie afdaling plaatsvindt met heerlijke bochten. Bij de parkeerplaats houd je links aan en volg je de asfaltweg (dus niet het fietspad) waarna nog een fraai traject volgt met enkele bochten tot het hoogste punt. Nergens hoge percentages maar de lengte laat zich wel voelen.
