A light but scenically attractive and varied climb. The first part goes over an asphalt bike path (among others under the railway) along the Grachtstrasse. At the bicycle signpost you enter the forest (the direction to which no signpost indicates). Here begins a beautiful and narrow bike path which consists mainly of gravel with sometimes a piece of good asphalt. The gravel is comparable to the shell paths in the Netherlands.

A light but scenically attractive and varied climb. The first part goes over an asphalt bike path (among others under the railway) along the Grachtstrasse. At the bicycle signpost you enter the forest (the direction to which no signpost indicates). Here begins a beautiful and narrow bike path which consists mainly of gravel with sometimes a piece of good asphalt. The gravel is comparable to the shell paths in the Netherlands. Sometimes along the edge of the forest and sometimes through the forest you slowly climb up with on the left increasingly beautiful views. The last part to the refuge where the top is, is an asphalt road with very bumpy asphalt. Here you do have a panoramic view to the left, a.o. towards the impressive lignite power plant of Weissweiler.

Een licht maar landschappelijk aantrekkelijke en gevarieerd klimmetje. Het eerste deel gaat over een asfaltfietspad (o.a. onder het spoor door) langs de Grachtstrasse. Bij de fietswegwijzer ga je het bos in (de richting waar geen bordje naar wijst). Hier begint een mooi en smal fietspad wat hoofdzakelijk uit gravel bestaat met soms ene stukje goed asfalt. De gravel is te vergelijken met de schelpenpaden in Nederland. Soms langs de bosrand en soms door het bos klim je langzaam naar boven met links steeds fraaier uitzicht. Het laatste deel tot de schuilhut waar de top is, is een asfaltweggetje met zeer hobbelig asfalt. Hier wel weids uitzicht naar links, o.a. richting de imposante bruinkoolcentrale van Weissweiler.
