Opgelet: op dit moment is deze weg afgesloten wegens vernieuwen van asfalt. Op de splitsing Hammer - Kestenich waar je naar rechts op draait, is er ondertussen wel nieuwe asfalt. Deze ligt perfect. De klim is goed te doen

6/10 Not thunderous, does stay steadily straight for a long time. Traffic can drive fast there, but that's often the case here.

6/10 Niet denderend, blijft wel lang gestaag rechtdoor lopen. Verkeer kan er hard rijden, maar dat is hier wel vaker.

In the weekend quite busy with motorcycles. Just before the end of the climb there is a very nice viewpoint over Dedenborn.

In het weekend vrij druk met motoren. Vlak voor het einde van klim is er een heel mooi uitzichtspunt over Dedenborn.

Fairly easy climb up, which can be quite busy with bikers, but there is a bike path.

Redelijk gemakkelijke klim omhoog, welke vrij druk kan zijn met motorrijders, maar er ligt een fietspad.
