Especially the first part of this charming road up is a feast: nice and steep up through the woods. The many hairpin bends make this climb special. Once out of the forest you can enjoy the view. You drive along forest edges and through meadows to the village just beyond the top.... read more

I cannot count the number of times I have cycled this climb.
In recent years, it has often been the starting climb for our cycling weekends in the Eifel.
Absolutely the most beautiful climb in the far surroundings of Fuchshofen.

Absoluut de mooiste klim in de verre omgeving rond Fuchshofen.
Met name de 8 fraaie haarspeldbochten maken deze klim een must als je in de buurt bent.

Vooral het eerste deel van deze charmante weg omhoog is een feest: lekker steil omhoog door het bos. De vele haarspeldbochten maken deze klim speciaal. Eenmaal uit het bos kun je genieten van het uitzicht. Je rijdt langs bosranden en door weilanden naar het dorp net voorbij de top.

Very nice climb with in the beginning beautiful hairpin bends; after the junction left it is a very nice runner with stunning views.

Beautiful climb with at the beginning a whole collection of hairpin bends. Good road surface and often another cyclist to break or be broken by. Not super steep but a long uphill climb. Virtually no traffic. A must this. Have fun!

Prachtige klim met aan het begin een hele verzameling haarspeldbochten. Goed wegdek en vaak wel een andere fietser om kapot te rijden of door kapot gereden te worden. Niet supersteil maar wel een lang stijgende klim. Nagenoeg geen verkeer. Een must deze. Veel plezier!

Lovely and quiet climb to tackle in this part of the Eifel! Hairpin bends always do me good in one way or another. After the hairpin bends, the steepness is gone, but you can enjoy a wide view.

Heerlijke en rustige klim om mee te pakken in dit stuk van de Eifel! Haarspeldbochten doen mij op de één of andere manier altijd goed. Na de haarspeldbochten is het steile er wel vanaf, maar kun je wel genieten van een weids uitzicht.
