A long climb that, especially in the beginning, really feels like a climb and looks like it too, because the road goes up quite steadily. After the first high point the road keeps going up and down with the next top being higher than the previous one. Just before the border is the real highest point. The climb has character in the beginning, then it goes through a forest so you have no reference points anymore.
The climb is on a bike path along a main road where not many cars drive. The bike path is first on the "logical" right side. At the first high point (at the Düsbergweg and a bus stop), this cycle path ends and you have to cross to the other side where a two-way cycle path runs (I didn't see any cyclists by the way). This is - as so often in Germany - not well signposted. As it was not busy, crossing the road was no problem.
Een lange klim die vooral in het begin echt als een klim voelt en er ook zo uitziet want de weg gaat behoorlijk gestaag omhoog. Na het eerste hoge punt blijft de weg wat op en neer golven waarbij de volgende top steeds weer wat hoger is dan de vorige. Vlak voor de grens is het echte "hoogste punt". De klim heeft in het begin nog karakter, daarna loopt het door een bos zodat je geen referentiepunten meer hebt.
De klim loopt over een fietspad langs een doorgaande weg waar echter niet veel auto's rijden. Het fietspad loopt eerst aan de "logische" rechterkant. Op het eerste hoge punt (bij de Düsbergweg en een bushalte) houdt dit fietspad op en moet je oversteken naar de overkant waar een tweerichtingsfietspad loopt (ben geen fietser tegengekomen overigens). Dit is - zoals zo vaak in Duitsland - niet goed aangegeven. Omdat het niet druk was, was oversteken geen probleem verder.
