With hairpin bends you always make me happy. Here you get a bit of an Alpine feeling, if you start the climb with the easy to handle altimeters along the hairpin bends. Especially the first part is the most beautiful, the last part of the climb is mainly a process of the first part. ... read more

Beautiful climb with lots of hairpins, views and great tarmac. Not too busy for the through road that it is, as in many places in Luxembourg. Starting in Kauterbach, you have the little church in view for a long time. Above, wide views.

Prachtige klim met veel haarspelden, uitzicht en prachtig asfalt. Niet al te druk voor de doorgaande weg die het is, zoals op veel plekken in Luxemburg. Startend in Kauterbach heb je het kerkje nog lange tijd in beeld. Boven weidse uitzichten.

To the comments of the others I can add that the road surface is top notch. The traffic is almost non-existent. Beautiful climb.

Aan de opmerkingen van de anderen kan ik nog toevoegen dat het wegdek top is. Het verkeer nagenoeg niet voorkomend. Prachtige klim.

This is really enjoyable. Many hairpin turns, climb is good. After 3 km up and down, these are real intervals.

Dit is echt genieten. Veel haarspeldbochten, klim loopt goed. Na kilometer of 3 op en af, zijn wel echt intervalletjes.

Met haarspeldbochten maak je me altijd al een tevreden mens. Hier krijg je dan ook toch even een Alpen gevoel, als je in het begin van de klim de goed te verwerken hoogtemeters afmaalt langs de haarspeldbochten. Vooral dat eerste stuk is het mooist, het laatste stuk van de klim is vooral verwerken van het eerste deel.
