Large through road with separate cycle path. Can be cycled on the outside leaf. Seems false flat, but secretly pulls on for a long time so you start to feel it at the end.... read more

Large through road with separate cycle path. Can be cycled on the outside leaf. Seems false flat, but secretly pulls on for a long time so you start to feel it at the end.

Grote doorgaande weg met afzonderlijk fietspad. Op zich op buitenblad te fietsen. Lijkt vals plat, maar trekt stiekem toch wel lang door waardoor je het op het eind wel begint te voelen.

Not really a climb as there is a lot of flat in it. The pressure is off. Should you really have no other way out of Lanaken, do it. If not, don't do this.

Niet echt een klim, want er zit veel vlak in. De druk is weg. Mocht je echt op geen andere manier Lanaken uit kunnen komen, dan moet je het wel doen. Zo niet, niet doen dit.

Actually, this climb really does fall short.Starting from the Europalaan in Lanaken, this is the longest climb of the Kempen plateau at 3.6 km and conquers about 54 altimeters.Of course, you should then include the flatter bits.

Eigenlijk doet men deze klim echt wel te kort.Begint men aan de Europalaan in Lanaken te meten is dit zonder echt spectaculair te worden zelfs met 3,6 km de langste klim van het Kempens plateau en overwint men ongeveer 54 hoogtemeters.Uiteraard dient men dan de vlakkere stukjes erbij te nemen.

Largely a runner along a busy through road. The first part runs on a cycle lane (a so-called "murder lane"), further on the cycle path becomes separate from the road. Nothing really noteworthy further on. Mainly green surroundings, though.

Grotendeels een loper langs een drukke doorgaande weg. Het eerste deel loopt over een fietsstrook (een zgn. "moordstrookje"), verderop komt het fietspad los van de weg te liggen. Niet echt opzienbarend verder. Wel grotendeels groene omgeving.
