For the moment the longest climb in Luxembourg on this site, and that makes it attractive as training for more difficult climbs. I have climbed this one countless times and it still fascinates me. It starts between the houses, but soon you ride between the fields (short part in the forest) to the top. Hardly any traffic, you can ride up in all peace! The alternative from Keppeshausen is steeper and shorter (and maybe even more fun ;) ).... read more

This will be one of Luxembourg's longer bell climbs. For me, a little over 22 minutes of climbing anyway. In it you get necessary variation in terms of scenery and views. Patches of forest, beautiful meadows and wheat fields, a few farms. And the climb went a bit in steps for my liking. Always a bit of climbing with relatively stable percentages and then a bit of flat or slight descent and then another piece of climbing. This allowed you to recover every now and then. It was useful to pay attention to the wind because a large part of the slope is very open, which can be an extra obstacle.

Dit zal één van de langere belklimmingen van Luxemburg zijn. Voor mij toch iets meer dan 22 minuten klimmen. Daarin krijg je nodige variatie qua omgeving en uitzicht. Stukjes bos, mooie weilanden en graanvelden, een paar boerderijen. En de klim ging voor mijn gevoel wat in trapjes. Steeds een stukje klimmen met relatief stabiele percentages en dan even een stukje vlak of lichte daling en dan weer een nieuwe stuk klimmen. Daardoor kon je zo af en toe even wat herstellen. Wel handig om even op de wind te letten omdat een groot deel van de helling heel open is kan dit een extra hindernis vormen.

Nice ongoing climb with varying gradients but nowhere really too steep. Changing environment and few cars.

Mooie lopende klim met wisselende stijgingspercentages maar nergens echt te steil. Wisselende omgeving en weinig auto's.

Voorlopig de langste klim in Luxemburg op deze site, en dat maakt hem dan ook aantrekkelijk als training voor moeilijkere beklimmingen. Deze heb ik al talloze keren opgereden en hij blijft mij boeien. Hij begint tussen de huizen, maar al snel rij je tussen de velden (kort stuk in het bos) naar de top. Amper verkeer, je kan in alle rust naar boven rijden! Het alternatief vanuit Keppeshausen is steiler en korter (en misschien ook nog leuker ;) ).
