Kort en stevig oplopend klimmetje aan de westkant van Schaesberg, gemeente Landgraaf. De klim ligt in de Parkstadroute, een fietsroute van 34 km tussen Schinnen en Simpelveld v.v.

The road was considerably modified in 2024 and is now part of the Parkstad route for cyclists. The first part of the climb, the steeper stretch, you are still accompanied by very few cars. Just as steep, but nothing more. The long middle section of Melchersstraat has become completely car-free and equipped with sheet-smooth asphalt. A new cycle viaduct has been built that goes over the roundabout towards Staringstraat.

De weg is flink aangepast in 2024 en maakt nu deel uit van de Parkstadroute voor fietsers. Het eerste deel van de klim, het steilere stuk, ben je nog vergezeld van maar weinig auto’s. Even steil, maar meer is het ook niet. Het lange middeldeel van de Melchersstraat is volledig autovrij geworden en voorzien van lakenglad asfalt. Er is een nieuw fietsviaduct gemaakt dat over de rotonde gaat richting de Staringstraat.

A big pimple in the middle of Heerlen. Not a climb to detour for, but certainly a nice hill to get the legs warm, judging also by the respectable gradient.

Een flinke pukkel midden in Heerlen. Geen klim om voor om te rijden, maar zeker een mooie heuvel om de benen warm te krijgen, getuige ook het respectabele stijgingspercentage.

Short but firm climb that can be considered a steep runner. You go over a bike lane along a through road. The road runs almost straight so the end is immediately visible (or the railway viaduct must be in the way).

In September 2021 the road was completely open (over three quarters of the way) because of works. It was still accessible for cyclists.

Korte maar stevige klim die wel als een steile loper beschouwd kan worden. Je gaat over een fietsstrook langs een doorgaande weg. De weg loopt vrijwel recht dus het eind is meteen zichtbaar (of het spoorwegviaduct moet in de weg liggen).

In september 2021 lag de weg volledig open (over driekwart van het traject) vanwege werkzaamheden. Deze was voor fietsers nog wel toegankelijk.
