Hulsberg from Simpelveld is a short but tough wall. From the village, it immediately goes up briskly and keeps climbing continuously through the residential area. There are a few sections around 8-10%, giving you hardly any rest. At the top it gets a little easier and you have nice views of Simpelveld.... read more

Hulsberg vanuit Simpelveld is een korte maar pittige muur. Vanaf het dorp gaat het meteen stevig omhoog en blijft het continu klimmen door de woonwijk. Er zitten een paar stukken rond de 8–10%, waardoor je nauwelijks rust krijgt. Boven wordt het iets makkelijker en heb je mooi uitzicht over Simpelveld.

It is a beautiful climb and in many ways very similar to other climbs in Limburg, but being in a residential area gives it a totally different experience.

Het is een mooie klim en op allerlei manieren heel vergelijkbaar met andere klimmetjes in Limburg, maar doordat het in een woonwijk is geeft het een totaal andere beleving.

A 1-kilometre climb where you go from south to north straight up through the built-up area of Simpelveld to the Huls district on a wide asphalt road. It starts snappy right from the Stampstraat up the St. Remigiusstraat. After this, it flattens out a bit after a few hundred metres. As you enter the right-hand bend, you get the steepest part of the climb in front of your wheels. Only just before the top does it then level off again. Regardless, it remains a tough climb.

Klim van 1 kilometer waar je van zuid naar noord dwars door de bebouwde kom van Simpelveld omhoog gaat naar de wijk Huls over een brede asfaltweg. Het begint al gelijk pittig als je vanaf de Stampstraat de St. Remigiusstraat opgaat. Hierna vlakt het na een paar honderd meter weer wat af. Als je de bocht naar rechts inrijdt krijg je het steilste deel van de klim voor de wielen. Pas vlak voor de top vlakt het dan weer af. Het blijft hoe dan ook een pittige klim.

Somehow this climb feels a bit special to me. I don't know what it is. You climb up here through an old residential area on a wide road in nice curves. Percentages go up quite a bit, but it doesn't get anywhere as steep as other well-known calf bites in the region.

Op de één of andere manier voelt deze klim voor mij toch wel wat speciaal. Ik weet niet wat het is. Je klimt hier door een oude villawijk over een brede weg in mooie bochten naar boven. Percentages lopen best even op maar het wordt nergens zo steil als andere bekende kuitenbijters in de regio.

Yesterday, while cycling the Amstel
Amstel Gold Race loop 2 (with 35 degrees) I thought I had had the worst of it, and then this one came out of nowhere. I had to rake to the top, it is really tough! Also one of the most beautiful views in South Limburg.

Ik dacht gisteren tijdens het fietsen
van Amstel Gold Race lus 2 (met 35 graden) het zwaarste wel gehad te hebben, en toen kwam deze uit het niets opdoemen. Dat werd harken naar de top, echt een pittig ding dit! Daarnaast 1 van de mooiste vergezichten in Zuid-Limburg.

Yesterday we drove up here unsuspectingly haha
That was a bit of a disappointment, a steep wall with bends that make it hard to know how far it will go when you get there the first time.

We reden hier gisteren nietsvermoedend naar boven haha
Dat viel ff tegen, pittig muurtje waarvan je door de bochten niet weet hoever hij doorloopt als je er de 1e keer komt.

Relatively unknown climb, but certainly worthwhile! You meander through Simpelveld with constantly high percentages upwards. At the top you have a beautiful view towards Germany!

Relatief onbekende klim, maar zeker de moeite waard! Je slingert door Simpelveld met constant flinke percentages omhoog. Boven heb je een prachtig uitzicht richting Duitsland!

For many not too well known climb because it lies just outside the known zone. Certainly not to be underestimated, it is regularly very steep so you will not get any rest. The climb is between the houses of Simpelveld, so don't expect a nice environment, but on top a nice panorama. Good asphalt but regularly local traffic. I would certainly take him once between all "fixed" AGR climbs, good alternative. I think it was once the setting of the NK.

Bij velen niet al te bekende klim omdat hij net buiten de bekende zone ligt. Zeker niet te onderschatten, hij loopt regelmatig goed steil door zodat je geen rust krijgt. De klim ligt tussen de woonhuizen van Simpelveld, dus verwacht geen mooie omgeving., bovenop wel een mooi panorama. Prima asfalt maar wel regelmatig lokaal verkeer. Ik zou hem zeker een keer meenemen tussen alle "vaste" AGR klimmetjes, goed alternatief. Naar ik meen ooit het decor geweest van het NK.

Stunning climb where the lowest gears are needed (at least for me). Right from the start this one goes up and it keeps going up steeply, bend after bend. The "flatter" part in the middle is hardly noticeable for your nagging legs. At three quarters of the way there is a viewpoint with a very nice view over Simpelveld and further, where you can see the church in the depth. A bit further on the view behind you is even better.

Slopende klim waar de laagste versnellingen nodig zijn (bij mij wel iig). Meteen vanaf het begin knalt deze omhoog en het blijft steil omhoog gaan, bocht na bocht. Het "vlakkere" gedeelte in het midden is amper merkbaar voor je zeurende benen. Op driekwart is er een uitzichtpunt met zeer fraai uitzicht over Simpelveld en verder, waar je de kerk in de diepte ziet liggen. Iets verderop is het uitzicht achter je nog mooier.

Last time was 2015 when a time trial in the Rooks/Theunissen challenge. Now I rode down here and down we thought, too nice not to ride back.
Yes 10% participates but a climb that ends with a generous view.
It is outside the normal cycling area of many day cyclists so nice and quiet.

Laatste x was 2015 toen een tijdrit in de Rooks/Theunissen challenge. Nu reed ik hier af en beneden dachten we, te leuk om niet even terug te rijden.
Ja 10% doet mee maar een klim die eindigt met een riant uitzicht.
Ligt buiten het normale fietsgebied van veel dagfietsers dus lekker rustig.

I have only one word for this climb, 'intense'. Especially because it is continuously steep. Do you want to feel your legs a bit then this is your climb.

Ik heb maar een woord voor deze klim; 'heftig'. Vooral omdat het continue steil is. Wil je je benen even voelen dan is dit je klim.
