Beautiful climb that is absolutely not to be underestimated. Because of the hairpin bends you would think that the climb would flatten out a bit there, but the opposite is true because it is precisely at the hairpin bends that the climb picks up every time. Just above the top you are already treated to a beautiful view of the Drachenfels to your left, and if you follow the signs for the "biergarten" at the top you will eventually arrive at a terrace where you have a beautiful view of B... read more

Beautiful climb that is absolutely not to be underestimated. Because of the hairpin bends you would think that the climb would flatten out a bit there, but the opposite is true because it is precisely at the hairpin bends that the climb picks up every time. Just above the top you are already treated to a beautiful view of the Drachenfels to your left, and if you follow the signs for the "biergarten" at the top you will eventually arrive at a terrace where you have a beautiful view of Bonn and the Rhine. The road surface is good everywhere. Wonderful climb!

Prachtige klim die absoluut niet te onderschatten is. Vanwege de haarspeldbochten zou je denken dat de klim daar wel wat afvlakt, maar het tegendeel is waar want juist bij de haarspeldbochten trekt de klim telkens fink aan. Net boven top wordt je al aan je linkerhand getrakteerd op een prachtig uitzicht op de Drachenfels, en als je bovenop de borden van de 'biergarten' volgt kom je uiteindelijk bij een terras uit waar je een prachtig uitzicht op Bonn en de Rijn hebt. Het wegdek is overal goed. Prachtige klim!

Fine tarmac and nice curves climbing and descending through the forest to the famous Hotel Petersberg, where numerous heads of state have already stayed.

Prima asfalt en leuke bochten klimmen en afdalen door het bos tot aan het beroemde hotel Petersberg, waar tal van staatshoofden reeds verbleven.

A nice, crisp climb that you should definitely have ridden in the Siebengebirge. The destination is the hotel (beer garden) at the top, where you can fill up your bottles.

Advantage: very few cars, no through road.
Disadvantage: just one way up and down

Schöner knackiger Anstieg, den man im Siebengebirge auf jeden Fall mal gefahren sein sollte. Ziel ist das Hotel (Biergarten) oben, wo man gut seine Flaschen auffüllen kann.

Vorteil: Sehr wenige Autos, da keine Durchgangsstraße
Nachteil: just one way up and down

Beautiful climb in the Siebengebirge mountains. Dead-end road. Good road surface. Largely in the forest, only towards the end do you have more views including towards Drachenfels. Is a toll road, but free for cyclists. Beginning and towards the end steeper, in between more gradual. You get to a famous hotel at the top. If you cycle around that, you come to a Biergarten with nice views over the Rhine.

Mooie klim in het Siebengebirge. Doodlopende weg. Goed wegdek. Grotendeels in het bos, pas tegen het einde heb je meer uitzicht o.a. richting Drachenfels. Is een tolweg, maar gratis voor fietsers. Begin en tegen het einde steiler, daar tussenin geleidelijker. Je komt boven bij een beroemd hotel. Als je daar omheen fietst kom je bij een Biergarten met mooi uitzicht over de Rijn.
