A long, undulating run along the main road that feels tougher than the numbers suggest, with some tough sections but beautiful views that partially offset the less charming route.

Een lange, golvende loper langs de hoofdweg die zwaarder aanvoelt dan de cijfers doen vermoeden, met enkele pittige stukken maar mooie uitzichten die de minder charmante route deels compenseren.

Walking stretch along a main road. Definitely good option if you want to go from Gulpen to Vaals as soon as possible, for example, but not the prettiest route. Better take a diversion then. The scenery makes up for a lot

Lopend stuk langs een hoofdweg. Zeker goede optie als je bijvoorbeeld zsm val Gulpen naar Vaals wil bijvoorbeeld maar niet de mooiste route. Dan neem je beter een omweg. Het landschap maakt veel goed

Climb over the road from Mechelen to Vijlen. The climb starts already in the built-up area of Mechelen t.h.v. Burg. Pappersweg. At the 2nd junction, keep right and turn onto Hilleshagerweg. On its own, it's a fine runner that feels tougher than the gradients reflect. Halfway up the climb there is a group of houses after the little chapel where you get the steepest 200 metres of the climb.

Klim over de weg van Mechelen naar Vijlen. De klim begint al in de bebouwde kom van Mechelen t.h.v. de Burg. Pappersweg. Op de 2e splitsing hou je rechts aan en ga je de Hilleshagerweg op. Op zich is het een prima loper die zwaarder aanvoelt dan de stijgingspercentages weergeven. Halfverwege de klim staat na het kapelletje een groepje huizen waar je de steilste 200 meter van de klim krijgt.

A long runner on a perfect road with a wide bike lane. Definitely good as a connecting road. You can cycle up this one at high speed.

Een lange loper over een perfecte weg met een brede fietsstrook. Zeker goed als verbindingsweg. Je kan deze tegen hoog tempo op fietsen.

If you start this climb in Partij just after the double bend and you drive via the Rugweg to the Vijlenerbosweg, then you have the longest climb in the Netherlands to tackle. This is only a part of it. Beautiful road with nice views on the Vijlenerbos.

Als je deze klim start in Partij net na de dubbele bocht en je rijdt via de Rugweg het Vijlenerbosweg op dan heb je de langste klim van Nederland te pakken. Dit is slechts een deel daarvan. Mooie weg met mooie uitzichten op het Vijlenerbos.

This one hurt a lot more than the gradient promised. In my opinion, the climb lasted a lot longer, until shortly after the church in Vijlen. There are two short descents in between, but that is also possible on the Camerig.

Deze deed veel meer pijn dan het stijgingspercentage beloofde. Voor mijn gevoel duurde de klim trouwens een stuk langer, tot iets na de kerk in Vijlen. Daar zitten dan wel twee korte afdalinkjes tussen, maar dat kan bij de Camerig ook.

Long climb that is quite undulating and therefore can be quite tiring. The steepest part is just before and in Hilleshagen. Also in Mechelen itself is a steeper part. If you follow the road to Vijlen there's another nice pile up (after a descent).

Lange klim die behoorlijk golft en daarmee best vermoeiend kan zijn. Het steilste stuk is wel vlak voor en in Hilleshagen. Ook in Mechelen zelf is ff een steiler stukje. Als je de weg volgt naar Vijlen komt er (na een afdaling) nog een keer een leuke puist aan.

Long climb with here and there some tough parts. By the way, it goes up to Vijlen and not to Hilleshagen as indicated on the map. Lovely climb in terms of views.

Lange klim met hier en daar pittige stukjes. Loopt trouwens door tot Vijlen en niet zoals op het kaartje staat tot Hilleshagen. Heerlijke klim qua uitzichten.
