Steep climb, but not insurmountable. A fairly even gradient.
The road is in good condition, and the traffic (on a Friday afternoon in July) wasn't disgusting. What's more, the road is wide. No particular views, but it's in the Eifel, so it's a beautiful environment.

Cote raide, mais pas insurmontable. Pente plutôt régulière.
La route est en bon état, et la circulation (un vendredi après-midi de juillet) n'était pas dégangeante. De plus, la route est large. Pas de vues particulières, mais elle se trouve dans l'Eifel, donc bel environnement.

That first kilometre is really particularly steep - it keeps on going, what a beast! At the foot, it did say that you were not allowed to continue (may people from the other side came and told you that you can). At the top, though, the track was completely closed, so you had to dismount and go via the footpath. Maybe it was because it was a Saturday or there are works planned. So take care if you climb this one in the near future.

Die eerste kilometer is echt bijzonder steil - dat blijft maar duren, wat een beest! Aan de voet stond er wel dat je niet door mocht (mag er kwamen mensen van de andere kant die vertelden dat je wel door kan). Aan de top was de baan wel volledig afgesloten, dus moest je afstappen en via het voetpad gaan. Misschien was het omdat een zaterdag was ofwel staan er werken gepland. Dus even opletten als je deze beklimt in de nabije toekomst.

Steep thing feels steeper than stated. No views, but a real calf-biter.

Steile Sache fühlt sich steiler an als angegeben. Zwar keine Ausblicke, dafür aber ein echter Wadenbeißer.

This climb rivals Ardennes slopes. Very tough, and the steep wall makes you lose heart. There is some traffic here but it behaves nicely. Asphalt is fine.

Deze klim concurreert met Ardense hellingen. Zeer zwaar, en de steile muur laat je de moed in de schoenen zakken. Er is hier wel wat verkeer maar dat gedraagt zich netjes. Asfalt is prima.

By taking a wrong turn, we accidentally ended up on this slope, after a day full of so-called real famous climbs, including the Hammer. What a relatively unknown calf-biter this is. In addition, the Hammer is a real cinch.

Door een verkeerde afslag te nemen, kwamen we per ongeluk op deze helling terecht, na een dag vol zogenaamde echte bekende klimmen, waaronder de Hammer. Dit is pas echt een kuitenbijter; daarbij is de Hammer een echte makkie.

Not the prettiest of climbs but the tarmac is perfect and you ride between the trees. The question is whether you can look at them while you are pedaling up.

Niet de allermooiste klim maar het asfalt is perfect en je rijdt prima tussen de bomen. De vraag is of je daarnaar kunt kijken terwijl je naar boven aan het stoempen bent.

Peace and quiet, little traffic and a typical German view at the beginning. After that it is in 1 word: stoempen! Put it on your lightest gear and climb up. After a day at the Rursee this was really the killer climb. Once up you have a large portion of satisfaction there. Tip: take the descent to Monschau for a nice piece of cake or stay on the plateau and do the same in Roetgen ;)

Rust, weinig verkeer en een typisch Duits doorkijkje aan het begin. Daarna wordt het in 1 woord: stoempen! Zet hem op je lichtste versnelling en klauter naar boven. Na een dag aan de Rursee was dit toch echt wel de killer climb. Eenmaal boven heb je een grote portie aan voldoening erbij. Tip: pak de afdaling naar Monschau voor een lekker stuk taart of blijf op het plateau en doe hetzelfde in Roetgen ;)

Really a wonderful calves-biter. We did this at the end of a long day on the way to Monschau and then you can be quite wrong in the percentages. The climb is not necessarily very beautiful, but the tarmac is good.

Echt een heerlijke kuitenbijter. Wij deden deze aan het eind van een lange dag op weg naar Monschau en dan kun je je best wel vergissen in de percentages. De klim is niet persé heel mooi, maar het asfalt is goed.
