Special mountain. A bit steep at the bottom, like all hills from Wijlre, then even a serious descent and another nice climb with great views at the end. Elkenrade is one of those's Limburg villages that nobody knows about but is a great place. Well worth the effort.... read more

Special mountain. A bit steep at the bottom, like all hills from Wijlre, then even a serious descent and another nice climb with great views at the end. Elkenrade is one of those's Limburg villages that nobody knows about but is a great place. Well worth the effort.

Bijzondere berg. Onderaan wat stijl, zoals alle bergjes vanuit Wijlre, dan zelfs een serieuze afdaling en nog een mooi klimmetje met een geweldig uitzicht aan het einde. Elkenrade is zo'n Limburgs plaatsje wat niemand kent maar een geweldig mooi plekje is. De moeite waard.

The second part is beautiful, both for climbing and descending.

Het tweede deel is prachtig, zowel om te klimmen als om te dalen.

A climb in two parts. In Wijlre, on the Valkenburgerweg, you take the turn to Elkenrade. It goes up immediately and until the railway line you ride between houses and a bit of industrial area. The first steepest part is between the railway line and an intersecting field road. After this, you descend about 500 metres and where the road bends to the right, the second part of the climb follows for over a kilometre in an almost tight gradient to Elkenrade.

Een klim in twee delen. In Wijlre neem je op de Valkenburgerweg de afslag naar Elkenrade. Het gaat gelijk omhoog en tot aan de spoorlijn rij je tussen de huizen en een stukje industrieterrein. Het eerste steilste stuk zit tussen de spoorlijn en een kruisende veldweg. Hierna daal je ongeveer 500 meter af en waar de weg naar rechts afbuigt volgt het tweede deel van de klim over ruim een kilometer in een nagenoeg strak stijgingspercentage naar Elkenrade.

Unexpectedly many climbing points on this climb, but almost 100 altimeters so that will count. The part up to the railway is indeed not nice (but not that bad) but very short, so you'll be over it in no time. After the track it gets a bit steep but the end of the hump is soon in sight. Then a nice short descent in beautiful surroundings after which the road turns right and through a beautiful long avenue of trees along the valley goes up. Not very steep and a nice runner that you do feel in the end. After the trees along the road have stopped you can already see the houses of Elkenrade, where the road still climbs a bit in between.

Onverwacht veel klimpunten bij deze klim, maar wel bijna 100 hoogtemeters dus dat zal wel tellen. Het stukje tot het spoor is inderdaad niet mooi (maar zo erg is het nu ook weer niet) maar heel kort dus je bent er zo aan voorbij. Na het spoor wordt het even pittig maar het eind van de bult is al snel in zicht. Daarna een leuke korte afdaling in een mooie omgeving waarna de weg rechtsaf gaat en via een fraaie lange laan met bomen langs het dal omhoog gaat. Niet heel steil en een mooie loper die je uiteindelijk wel voelt. Nadat de bomen langs de weg zijn opgehouden zie je de huizen van Elkenrade al, waar de weg nog wel even tussen doorklimt.

First part is pretty ugly, feels like an industrial area. Second part is super. Beautiful road, fantastic scenery. In one long gentle curve, you climb at an even gradient to the top.

Eerste deel is vrij lelijk, voelt aan als een industrieterrein. Tweede deel is super. Mooie weg, fantastische omgeving. In één lange flauwe bocht klim je aan een gelijkmatig stijgingspercentage heerlijk naar de top.
