Klim loopt parallel aan het Ravel fietspad van Gemmenich naar Luik, dus om de drukke verkeersweg te vermijden kun je deze voor een groot deel volgen. Op een gegeven moment duikt de Ravel onder de N608 door; als je naar Warsage of Henri-Chapelle wilt zul je dus toch de hoofdweg moeten volgen om vervolgens bovenaan de klim bjj de (deukke) rotonde je keuze te maken.
Not too difficult climb from Aubel. Majority is false plate and runs fine. Only last part is a bit steeper. Especially on weekdays much (freight) traffic which makes it careful. At the top possibilities to go in various directions.
Niet te moeilijke klim vanuit Aubel. Overgrote deel is vals plaat en loopt prima. Alleen laatste stukje is wat steiler. Zeker op werkdagen veel (vracht)verkeer waardoor het opletten is. Op de top mogelijkheden om diverse richtingen op te gaan.
The road can be busy so the adjacent bike path over an old railroad line is soon attractive then. Then you do miss this quite nice climb with nice views to the right and a nice and easily visible ascent to the main road.
De weg kan druk zijn dus het naastgelegen fietspad over een oude spoorlijn is dan al snel aantrekkelijk. Dan mis je wel deze best aardige klim met mooi uitzicht over rechts en een leuke en goed zichtbare stijging naar de hoofdweg.
