Anyone who has ever driven to Monschau by car or (especially) motorbike knows this wonderful combination of bends. With the bike, it goes a lot slower, but then again, it is enjoying the road that is not straight for a single meter. The climb starts already in Monschau itself and along some half-timbered houses and other buildings it goes up immediately. Keep right at the roundabout.

Anyone who has ever driven to Monschau by car or (especially) motorbike knows this wonderful combination of bends. With the bike, it goes a lot slower, but then again, it is enjoying the road that is not straight for a single meter. The climb starts already in Monschau itself and along some half-timbered houses and other buildings it goes up immediately. Keep right at the roundabout. You can cycle on the road but it can be very busy (although there is a kind of narrow "hard shoulder" where no cars're driving). Fortunately, there is a good tarmac footpath/cycle path on the right-hand side of the road. Narrow but the chance of meeting other pedestrians or cyclists here is small. Bend after bend, the road winds up through beautiful surroundings, sometimes with nice views to the rear. Finally, there is a straight section. Just after that, the road flattens out. All in all, a nice course. Pity about the crowds even though they do not bother you.

Iedereen die wel eens met de auto of (vooral) motor naar Monschau is gereden kent deze heerlijke bochtencombinatie. Met de fiets gaat het een stuk langzamer maar dan ook is het genieten van de weg die geen meter recht is. De klim begint al in Monschau zelf en langs wat vakwerkhuizen en andere gebouwen gaat het meteen omhoog. Bij de rotonde rechts aanhouden. Je mag op de weg fietsen maar deze kan erg druk zijn (al is er wel een soort smalle "vluchtstrook" waar geen auto's rijden). Gelukkig is er een prima geasfalteerd voet/fietspad aan de rechterkant van de weg. Smal maar de kans is klein dat je hier andere voetgangers of fietsers tegenkomt. Bocht na bocht slingert de weg door een mooie omgeving omhoog waarbij naar achteren soms leuke uitzichten zijn. Uiteindelijk komt er een recht gedeelte. Vlak daarna vlakt de weg af. Al met al een mooi parcours. Jammer van de drukte ook al heb je er verder geen last van.
