Geleidelijke en rustige klim vanuit het dorp naar open velden met mooi uitzicht. Wegdek is oké, al kan het eerste stuk wat rommelig aanvoelen. Ideaal als alternatief voor drukkere wegen.

You start in the village on a kind of cobblestones. After a while, you head into the fields where the cycling is more pleasant. The climb in itself is nothing special but a good alternative to busier roads nearby.

Je vertrekt in het dorp op een soort klinkers. Na een tijd ga je de velden in waar het aangenamer fietsen is. De klim is op zich niks bijzonders maar wel een goed alternatief voor drukkere wegen in de buurt.

Long gradual climb from the hamlet to fields from where you have a nice view of Tongeren. Good road surface (in the built-up area, cyclists are still warned about a middle gutter) with concrete slabs as soon as you leave the built-up area. Muddy in autumn because of agricultural traffic.

Langlopende geleidelijke klim vanuit het buurtschap naar velden van waaruit je een mooi uitzicht op Tongeren hebt. Goed wegdek (in de bebouwing wordt je als fietser nog gewaarschuwd voor een middengoot) met betonplaten zodra je de bebouwing verlaat. In het najaar wel modderig vanwege landbouwverkeer.

The climb Herenbos in Mulken is a rather easy one (average = 4% and steepest 100m = 6.3% and the climb is only 850m long).
The road is quite narrow (one lane) and after leaving Mulken it gets even narrower.
Luckily not much traffic passes by on this (deserted) road. But in the first part of the climb (the first 450m) you have to be extra careful because there are quite a few side-streets (where I suspect right-of-way is valid) and in addition there are sometimes cars parked on the road - so you sometimes have to slalom.
The quality of the road (asphalt) is satisfactory.

De klim Herenbos in Mulken is een vrij gemakkelijke beklimming (gemiddeld = 4% en steilste 100m = 6,3% en de beklimming is slechts 850m lang).
De weg is wel vrij smal (éénbaansweg) en na het verlaten van Mulken wordt het zelfs nog wat smaller.
Er passeert gelukkig slechts weinig verkeer op deze (verlaten) weg. Maar in het eerste deel van de beklimming (de eerste 450m) moet je toch extra voorzichtig zijn want er zijn nog al wat zijstraten (waar naar ik vermoed voorrang van rechts geldt) en bovendien staan er nog al eens wat auto's geparkeerd op de weg - zodat je soms wel eens moet slalommen.
De kwaliteit van de weg (asfalt) is bevredigend.
