Lang en saai fietspad langs de Rijksweg van Maastricht richting Berg en Terblijt en daarna Valkenburg. De Kuitenberg door het weiland ten noorden van de Rijksweg is een veel mooier alternatief.

You find this one on a classic Dutch secondary road: connecting towns and with a segregated bike path, so it's fairly popular among commuters and urban cyclists, too.
Other than that, it's not particularly hard and you'll likely end up on it one way or another, if you're in the AGR area (maybe you came from the Cauberg or you're going to towards the Bemelerberg, for example), so get on and tick this one off the to-do list!
Good asphalt lets you descend this one at speed in safety, too

You can take it if it's the shortest way - that way you take in some altimeters anyway. Bicycle path, next to busy road, but all in all I still find the climb fun to do on its own (depending on the wind, it's either very easy or punchy and keeps on going).

Kan je nemen als dit de kortste weg is - op die manier neem je toch al wat hoogtemeters mee. Fietspad, naast drukke baan, maar al bij al vind ik de klim op zichzelf nog leuk om te doen (afhankelijk van de wind is ie ofwel zeer makkelijk ofwel pittig en blijft hij maar duren).

Taken from Maastricht in the direction of Valkenburg to do the famous Cauberg, of course, it's a climb without much more to say. It's not particularly worth the diversions, but that doesn't mean it's not worth taking.

prise depuis Maastricht en direction de Valkenburg pour faire bien sûr le fameux Cauberg, c'est une montée sans plus, pas grand chose à dire. Cela ne mérite pas spécialement le détour, mais il n'est pas pour autant dérangeant de l'emprunter

A climb over a concrete cycle path along a provincial road that was not very busy, by the way. In the beginning long false flat and then two steeper parts right after each other. Then it is off to the roundabout at the top. A few sharp bends in the road break up the route somewhat. Quite a dull climb which feels extra long because of that. Elsewhere, this one could be more appreciated but with so many other climbs including especially the Kuitenberg just north of this one, there are nicer alternatives. Nice to descend by the way, where you also have a view of Maastricht.

Een klim over een betonfietspad langs een provinciale weg die niet heel erg druk was overigens. In het begin lang vals plat en daarna twee steilere stukken vlak achter elkaar. Daarna is het uitfietsen tot de rotonde op de top. Enkele flauwe bochten in de weg breekt het traject enigszins. Best een saaie klim die daardoor extra lang aanvoelt. Elders zou deze wel wat meer waardering kunnen krijgen maar met zoveel andere klimmen waaronder vooral de Kuitenberg pal ten noorden van deze zijn er fraaiere alternatieven. Wel lekker om af te dalen overigens waarbij je ook nog zicht op Maastricht hebt.

For me the fastest route to Valkenburg from Maastricht.
But a deadly boring climb, although the last part can make you very sour.
At the top at the roundabout you can go left and then right around the corner is a good restaurant / bicycle stop.

Voor mij de snelste route naar Valkenburg vanuit Maastricht.
Maar een dood saaie klim al hoewel het laatste stuk je nog flink kan verzuren.
Bovenaan bij de rotonde kun je links gaan en dan rechts om de hoek ligt een goed eetcafe/fietsstop

Boring climb along the provincial road. Better to take the rural Kuitenberg as an alternative.

Saaie klim langs de provinciale weg. Beter de landelijk gelegen Kuitenberg als alternatief te nemen.

Beautiful scenic cycle path from Maastricht to Berg. Not difficult, but long by Limburg standards.

Landschappelijk fraai fietspad van Maastricht naar Berg. Niet moeilijk, wel lang voor Limburgse begrippen.

A very boring road to go up. There are plenty of alternatives to get to Berg en Terblijt.

Een kei saaie weg om naar boven te gaan. Er zijn alternatieven genoeg om in Berg en Terblijt te komen.

Quite a nice road. Almost at the top it gets a little steeper, but for the rest it is an easy mountain. Rather a nice road to descend.

Best een mooie weg. Bijna bovenaan word het heel even ietsje steiler, maar voor de rest is het een makkelijke berg. Eerder een leuke weg om af te dalen.
