Not too difficult climb and nice runner of over 1 kilometer in the very quiet and rural area between Kettenis, Walhorn and the Aachner Strasse. The first 250 meters the gradient increases a bit. Then it flattens out as false flat towards the summit. After the summit it is possible to turn right via the Aachener Strasse back towards Kettenis. If you turn left, just after the traffic lights you can choose between Walhorn, Eynatten or Raeren.... read more

Niet te moeilijke klim en lekkere loper van ruim 1 kilometer in het zeer rustige en landelijke gebied tussen Kettenis, Walhorn en de Aachner Strasse. De eerst 250 meter loopt het stijgingspercentage wat op. Daarna vlakt het als vals plat richting top steeds verder af. Na de top mogelijkheden om rechtsaf via de Aachener Strasse terug te rijden richting Kettenis. Ga je linksaf dan vlak hierna bij de verkeerslichten keuze om richting Walhorn, Eynatten of Raeren te gaan.
