The Hullekesberg starts in de Steeg, on the transition zone of the river area to the Veluwezoom and is a beautiful, partly hollow road to the top at the Pos bench, from which the name Posbank is derived. Hullekesberg is in my opinion the easiest southern ascent of the Posbank. I prefer the paved road and not the bike path, because on busy days there is much 'ordinary'bicycle traffic, often in groups.

A nice climb through beautiful surroundings that runs on a good tarmac road. No hordes of cycle traffic here (they use the cycle path but there is a chance of car traffic and then it can feel a bit cramped on some bits. Most of the climb is pretty relaxed but the intermediate part in the hollow road - especially after the left turn - is just as vicious. You can also feel the last bit.

Een lekkere klim door een mooie omgeving die over een goede asfaltweg loopt. Hier geen hordes fietsverkeer (die gebruiken het fietspad maar er is wel kans op autoverkeer en dan kan het op sommige stukjes wel wat krap aanvoelen. Het grootste deel van de klim is behoorlijk relaxed maar het tussenstukje in de holle weg - en dan vooral na de bocht naar links - is even venijnig. Ook het laatste stukje voel je wel.

I usually pass the cycle path, but this version by road is also fine on a weekday. Changing landscape from habitation through the forest to more open parts of the area.

Meestal pas ik het fietspad, maar deze versie over de weg is op een doordeweekse dag ook prima te doen. Wisselend landschap vanuit de bewoning door het bos naar meer open delen van het gebied.

A long two-stage rocket to the Posbank. First from the old village of De Steeg through the woods to a steep pile. Then it flattens out in an open area. If you are hungry and the pavilion on the Posbank is far too crowded, you can turn right on the cycle path to the Carolinahoeve. If you continue cycling, the percentages increase again as soon as you enter the forest. With a few more beautiful curves to go, you will be at the top when you see Koepel de Kaap on your left. And keep looking to your left because the panoramic view over the moors and even Germany unfolds before you. There are not many panoramic roads in the Netherlands that are on top of a ridge, but this road is one of them.

Een lange tweetrapsraket naar de Posbank. Eerst vanuit het oude dorp De Steeg door het bos naar een steile puist. Daarna vlakt het af in een open gebied. Heb je honger en is het op de Posbank veel te druk bij het paviljoen, dan kun je hier op het fietspad naar rechts naar de Carolinahoeve. Fiets je door, dan lopen de percentages weer op zodra je het bos in gaat. Met nog een paar mooie bochten te gaan ben je boven als je links Koepel de Kaap ziet. En blijf maar links kijken want het weidse uitzicht over de hei en zelfs Duitsland ontvouwt zich voor je. Er zijn niet veel panoramawegen in Nederland die boven op een heuvelrug liggen, maar deze weg is er een van.

The Hullekesberg starts in de Steeg, on the transition zone of the river area to the Veluwezoom and is a beautiful, partly hollow road to the top at the Pos bench, from which the name Posbank is derived. Hullekesberg is in my opinion the easiest southern ascent of the Posbank.

I prefer the paved road and not the bike path, because on busy days there is much 'ordinary'bicycle traffic, often in groups.

The Hullekesberg, like the Posbank-climb and the Zijpenberg from Rozendaal, is not car-free. Do you want to climb the Veluwezoom from the south without four wheelers around you, choose the Rozenbos climb from the Steeg, or the Zijpenberg from Rheden. Both highly recommended!

De Hullekesberg start in de Steeg, op de overgangszone van rivierengebied naar de Veluwezoom en is een prachtige, deels holle weg naar de top bij het bankje van Pos, waaraan de naam Posbank ontleend is. De Hullekesberg is wat mij betreft de makkelijkste zuidelijke opgang van de Posbank.

Ik neem zelf het liefst de geasfalteerde weg en niet het fietspad, omdat er op drukke dagen veel 'gewoon' fietsverkeer is, vaak in groepjes.

De Hullekesberg is trouwens, net als de Posbank-klim en de Zijpenberg vanuit Rozendaal, niet autovrij. Wil je de Veluwezoom vanuit het zuiden beklimmen zonder vierwielers om je heen, kies dan voor de Rozenbos klim vanuit de Steeg, of de Zijpenberg vanuit Rheden. Beide aanraders!

I unknowingly cycled the variant (via the bike path) and what a beautiful climb this is.
The two hairpin bends with ferns halfway up the cycle path makes this a really beautiful (unknown) part to cycle.

Ik heb onbewust de variant gefietst (via het fietspad) en wat een mooie klim is dit.
De twee haarspeldbochten met varens half over het fietspad maakt dit echt wel een prachtig (onbekend) stukje om te fietsen.

Where you normally cycle on the road, you better take the free cycle path. You will be treated to a real hairpin turn. This road is one of the quiet climbs on the Posbank and in my opinion still a bit unknown, while it is really nice.

Waar je normaal beter over de weg kan fietsen kan je hier beter bed vrij liggend fietspad pakken. Je wordt dan namelijk getrakteerd op een heuse haarspeldbocht. Deze weg is een van de rustige beklimmingen op de Posbank en volgens mij nog wat onbekend, terwijl hij echt leuk is.

A variation on this climb is to turn left into the cycle path at the foot, where you will be treated to two real hairpin bends. Unique in the Netherlands for a free-flowing cycle path?

Een variant op deze beklimming is om aan de voet links het fietspad in te slaan, waarbij je wordt getrakteerd op twee heuse haarspeldbochten. Een unicum in Nederland voor een vrijliggend fietspad?
