Quiet climb from Emmerich with a punchy start in a narrow, wooded hollow. After the turn it flattens out and becomes more of an out-rider towards the summit. Beautiful and surprisingly varied for the region, with little traffic and views above.... read more

Quiet climb from Emmerich with a punchy start in a narrow, wooded hollow. After the turn it flattens out and becomes more of an out-rider towards the summit. Beautiful and surprisingly varied for the region, with little traffic and views above.

For the region, this is a really nice little climb. After getting out of the traffic from Emmerik, it was a relief here that it was so quiet. I took some speed nicely which gave me some gift in the first part. As a result, this slope felt a bit less demanding to me as the profile shows. After the right-angled turn, it continues cunningly for a while and it is hard to get to the top.

Beautiful climb not to be missed if you are in the Nijmegen region anyway. The hairpin bend gives allure, after which it also immediately becomes easier to climb. The start is a bit spicy.

Wonderful scenic climb for the region. The climb starts in a real hollow road and is quite tough for a while. Then the road turns left and the percentages decrease. At the top you will find stalls with bratwursts and a stray camper. If you are in the area I would definitely take this one.

Unexpectedly nice climb for this region. The hollow begins pleasantly right away and runs through a beautiful forest. After turning left, it is soon cycling out. At the top, possibly turn left to the church for nice views into the Rhine valley.

Nice climb with hardly any traffic. Start on a narrow winding (moderately asphalted) road between the sloping woods upwards. It is also the steepest there. I often have the tendency to go hard up here and then you can find yourself in trouble in the later part. After the first bend, it never gets really steep again on a much wider road. Depending on your form, condition and what you have given at the beginning, it is pleasant or tough to reach the top.
Then the section on the cobbled road - watch out!

Nice start where you climb quite a bit. If you turn left it is still ff by climbing and you can have difficulty if you blow yourself up in the first part. There may be cars driving but I never see them actually. Only some descending cyclists and walkers sometimes.

Beautiful road, really a kind of hollow road in a wooded area. This side is not only used as an ascent, but also as a descent when coming from the other side (Hoch-Elten), although officially this is not allowed.

From this side the climb to Hoch Elten looks a bit like the Sibbegrubbe. Not very steep, easy driving (one way road) up between the greenery. Much easier than the climb from the west side (cobblestone road).

It is a nice little climb that is easy to do, but don't be mistaken about the many false flats. You will feel it after a while. I hardly saw any traffic, but that may have been a snapshot.

Completely different climb than the cobblestone variant. A quiet run between the trees, then some bends in the road and a bit of standing on the pedals. The road is better than the cobblestone version, for the rest both sides are worth to ride.
