This is what others have already written indeed absolutely nothing to it, the only reason to take it with you if you want to get miles from A to B quickly because otherwise your bike ride might be too long. But even then, taking the Ingbergrachtweg from the same starting point will get you to the same point without any real detour. Still 2 stars for a bike path in good condition, otherwise it would have been 1.... read more

Dit is wat anderen al schrijven inderdaad helemaal niks aan, de enige rede om deze mee te nemen als je snel kilometers van A naar B wilt maken omdat anders je fietsrit wellicht te lang wordt.

Maar zelfs dan, vanaf hetzelfde vertrekpunt de Ingbergrachtweg pakken kom je zonder echte omweg op hetzelfde punt uit.

Toch 2 sterren voor een fietspad in goede staat, anders was het 1 geweest.

Long and boring climb on the cycle path along the provincial road between Gulpen and Margraten. The first 2 kilometres go up very gradually and if you have a good cadence you can ride smoothly up here. A bit before the turn-off to Ingber, you are actually already at the top because in the last kilometre there is hardly any height difference.

Lange en saaie klim over het fietspad langs de provinciale weg tussen Gulpen en Margraten. De eerste 2 kilometer gaan zeer geleidelijk omhoog en als je een goede cadans te pakken hebt kan je hier soepel omhoog rijden. Een stuk voor de afslag naar Ingber ben je eigenlijk al boven omdat in de laatste kilometer nog nauwelijks hoogteverschil kent.

Definitely recommended if you are training for a big climb in Austria like myself 👍 I did this one both ways, from Noorbeek to Gulpen. This ride is worth repeating 💪

Zeker aan te raden als je net als ikzelf aan het trainen bent voor een grote klim in Oostenrijk 👍 Ik heb deze beiderzijds gedaan, vanuit Noorbeek naar Gulpen. Deze rit is voor herhaling vatbaar 💪

This is a tough climb, especially mentally, over a concrete cycle path along a busy main road. The first straight part takes forever, then two very long curves before you reach the top. Here and there some nice views to the left (if it is not too busy). Climb is a fine runner over a length of two kilometers, but you will not enjoy it much.

Dit is vooral mentaal een zware klim, over een fietspad van betonplaten langs een drukke provinciale weg. Het eerste rechte stuk duurt eindeloos, daarna nog twee zeer lange bochten voordat je boven bent. Wel her en der leuke uitzichten naar links (als het niet te druk is). Klim is een prima loper over een lengte van twee kilometer, maar veel plezier ga je er niet van hebben.

Not the most exciting climb of Limburg, but a very long one. Therefore a nice training climb. If you turn left halfway, after a short descent to Euverem you can take the long climb to Reijmerstok.

Niet de meest spannende klim van Limburg, maar wel een hele lange. Juist daardoor een mooie trainingsklim. Als je halverwege links af slaat kan je na een korte afdaling naar Euverem de lange klim pakken naar Reijmerstok.

If you like boring, monotonous, provincial roads, often wind against and a concrete slab bike path: 5 stars.
For me personally: 2 stars max. Next time I'll have to look a bit closer at where Strava is sending me.

Als je houdt van saai, eentonig, provinciale wegen, vaak wind tegen en een betonplatenfietspad: 5 sterren.
Voor mij persoonlijk: 2 sterren max. Volgende keer moet ik maar iets beter kijken waar Strava me naartoe stuurt.

Because of the evenness this climb fits well in a training, but that's all there is to it.

Vanwege de gelijkmatigheid past deze klim goed in een training, maar daar is dan ook alles mee gezegd.

Try not to drive this road, very boring, take as an alternative the Ingbergrachtweg, turn right at the traffic lights instead of going straight on, you will then pass Ingber in Margraten or Reijmerstok.

Probeer deze weg vooral niet te rijden, erg saai, neem als alternatief de Ingbergrachtweg, bij de stoplichten rechtsaf ipv rechtdoor, je komt dan via Ingber ook in Margraten of Reijmerstok

Bike path to get from Gulpen to the plateau of Margraten. Not exciting, but long.

Fietspad om vanuit Gulpen naar het plateau van Margraten te komen. Niet spannend, wel lang.
