A must ride when you are in Arnhem. From the busy city up, with park Sonsbeek and Witte Villa on your right. The last part is the steepest! At the top of the climb you can turn right on the cycle path in the direction of Burgers Zoo and further on you will arrive in Rozendaal where you can conquer the climbs towards Veluwe/Posbank!... read more

Nice climb past the highlights of Arnhem. It is nice getting out of the city this way, there is some car traffic but that should not spoil the fun. In hot weather, the forest section offers a pleasant cool down. Very difficult the slope is not.

Mooie klim langs de hoogtepuntjes van Arnhem. Het is mooi de stad uitkomen zo, er is wel wat autoverkeer maar dat mag de pret niet drukken. Met warm weer biedt het bosgedeelte een aangename verkoeling. Erg moeilijk is de helling niet.

Lovely route from the centre where you almost immediately enter the greenery and have nice views, especially over the right. Largely relaxed percentage but there are some steeper bits in it and the climb is of course quite long.

Heerlijke route vanuit het centrum waarbij je vrijwel meteen het groen in gaat en je vooral over rechts mooi uitzicht hebt. Grotendeels relaxed percentage maar er zitten enkele steilere stukjes in en de klim is natuurlijk best lang.

This is a climb that goes past many highlights of the City. Sonsbeek, Zypendaal, Gulden Bodem you name it. You eventually end up at a T junction where it does take some looking out.

Dit is een beklimming die langs veel highlights van de Stad gaan. Sonsbeek, Zypendaal, Gulden Bodem noem maar op. Je komt uiteindelijk op een T splitsing uit waar het wel uitkijken is.

Definitely a great road to master/handle climbing with handbike. Worth repeating!!!

Zeker een mooie weg om het klimmen met handbike onder de knie / hand te krijgen. Voor herhaling vatbaar!!

Een must ride wanneer je in Arnhem bent. Vanaf de drukke stad omhoog, met park Sonsbeek en Witte Villa aan je rechterhand. Het laatste stuk is het steilst! Bovenaan de klim kun je rechtsaf het fietspad op richting Burgers Zoo en verder door kom je in Rozendaal alwaar je de beklimmingen richting Veluwe/Posbank kunt gaan bedwingen!

Very nice road, with Park Sonsbeek on your right hand. Usually I only get to the climb halfway when I come through Sonsbeek from the east, but also from the bottom it is a nice climb. It is certainly not a difficult climb, but because the steepest part is at the end and you are probably still on your outer blade, it hurts more than you think.

Heel mooie weg, met Park Sonsbeek aan je rechterhand. Meestal kom ik halverwege pas op de klim als ik door Sonsbeek heen vanuit het oosten kom, maar ook vanaf beneden is het een fraaie klim. Het is zeker geen moeilijke beklimming, maar omdat het steilste gedeelte op het eind komt en je dan waarschijnlijk nog op je buitenblad staat, doet 'ie toch meer pijn dan je vooraf denkt.

The most beautiful park in the Netherlands is in Arnhem: Sonsbeekpark/Park Zypendaal. Here you climb along with a good view of the park on the right, including the White Water Mill, a waterfall, Zypendaal House and lots of green and water. On the left mainly more than hundred years old houses. You start on a free lying narrow bike path and somewhere halfway you have to share the road with quite some traffic. It is more than worth it; rarely do you climb in the middle of a Dutch city through an environment with so many beautiful things to see. Despite the small number of climbing points, I had more trouble than expected (or was it the 'winter condition'?). The length is despite the small piece of descending not to be underestimated.

Het mooiste park in Nederland bevindt zich in Arnhem: Sonsbeekpark/Park Zypendaal. Hier klim je er langs met goed uitzicht op het park rechts, inclusief de Witte Watermolen, een waterval, Huis Zypendaal en veel groen en water. Links voornamelijk meer dan honderd jaar oude huizen. Je begint op een vrij liggend smal fietspad en ergens halverwege moet je de weg delen met aardig wat verkeer. Het is het meer dan waard; zelden klim je midden in een Nederlandse stad door een omgeving met zoveel mooie dingen te zien. Ondanks het geringe aantal klimpunten had ik er meer moeite mee dan verwacht (of was het toch de 'winterconditie'?). De lengte is ondanks het kleine stukje dalen niet te onderschatten.
