The slightly spicier version. The first part of the climb through the residential area has an amazingly bad road surface and cars are parked everywhere, so watch out there.

The slightly spicier version. The first part of the climb through the residential area has an amazingly bad road surface and cars are parked everywhere, so watch out there. Once you turn left into Belvedereallee, however, it gets much better. The first stretch is a bit tough but after the next turn the climb flattens out and you paddle gently to the high plateau. Unfortunately, because of the forestation, you can't see much of the surroundings on the way, except for some vistas through the trees. Unfortunately, the restaurant in the former water tower can only be rented for events, so even at the top of the hill you will have to make do with vistas to Aachen and its surroundings.

De iet pittiger versie. Het eerste deel van de klim door de woonwijk heeft een verbazend slecht wegdek en overal staan auto's geparkeerd, dus pas daar op. Zodra je linksaf de Belvedereallee inslaat wordt het echter veel beter. Het eerste stuk is even pittig maar na de volgende bocht vlakt de klim af en peddel je rustig naar het hoogplateau. Vanwege de bebossing kun he onderweg helaas weinig van de omgeving zien, behalve enkele doorkijkjes tussen de bomen door. Helaas is het restaurant bovenop in de voormalige watertoren alleen mog maar voor events af te huren, dus ook bovenop de heuvel zul je het met doorkijkjes naar Aachen en omgeving moeten doen.

This climb starts with a hard climb and bad tarmac. The steepness continues for a while until just after the sharp left turn, then it quickly becomes less steep. The flatter part goes through a park-like landscape with steep forested slopes to the left and right and the tarmac gets a lot better. At the top there are a few nice views, both towards the center and the north. On weekdays there were few hikers.

From Aachen-Centrum a nice trip, further difficult to include in a route (tried the descent over the Champierweg to the north, it is both not allowed and not recommended).

Deze beklimming begint pittig en met slecht asfalt. De steilheid blijft nog even doorlopen tot iets na de scherpe linkerbocht, daarna wordt het snel minder. Het vlakkere gedeelte gaat door een parkachtig landschap met links en rechts steile beboste hellingen en het asfalt wordt een stuk beter. Bovenin zijn op een paar punten fraaie uitzichten, zowel richting het centrum als richting het noorden. Doordeweeks waren er weinig wandelaars.

Vanuit Aachen-Centrum een leuke tocht, verder moeilijk in een route op te nemen (de afdaling over de Champierweg naar het noorden geprobeerd, deze is zowel niet toegestaan als niet aan te raden).

If you turn from the Ludwigsallee into the Kupferstrasse it becomes immediately steep with bad road surface. Especially the part past the houses until the left hand bend is hard to find asphalt between the holes. From the left hand bend this picture changes completely and the road surface is suddenly good with some drowsy percentages. Once at the top of the round the tarmac becomes bad again.

The Lousberg is very popular with hikers, especially the round trip up is always busy. Chances are that you can't go full speed up here.

Als je vanaf de Ludwigsallee de Kupferstrasse opdraait wordt het meteen steil met slecht wegdek. Vooral het stuk voorbij de huizen tot de linkse bocht is zoeken naar asfalt tussen de gaten. Vanaf de linker bocht verandert dit beeld volledig en wordt het opeens prima wegdek met ook wat gezaperige percentages. Eenmaal op het rondje boven wordt het asfalt wel opnieuw slecht.

De Lousberg is erg geliefd onder wandelaars, vooral het rondje boven is altijd erg druk. Best een kans aanwezig dat je hier niet vol door kunt trekken.
