Fun, not too difficult and, in terms of traffic, quiet climb in the Aachen district of Vaalserquartier just across the border. Until the middle of the climb, the gradient rises gently. After the steepest part, it then flattens out towards the top. You can reach the start of the climb after the border via Vaalser Strasse/Keltenstrasse/Alte Vaalser Strasse.

Fun, not too difficult and, in terms of traffic, quiet climb in the Aachen district of Vaalserquartier just across the border. Until the middle of the climb, the gradient rises gently. After the steepest part, it then flattens out towards the top. You can reach the start of the climb after the border via Vaalser Strasse/Keltenstrasse/Alte Vaalser Strasse. If you come via the side of the church on Tentstraat in Vaals, the nice crossing via Akenerstraat past Klèng Wach (once the smallest customs office in NL) to Alte Vaalser Strasse is also a possibility.

Leuke, niet te moeilijke en v.w.b. verkeer rustige klim in de Akense wijk Vaalserquartier net over de grens. Tot het midden van de klim loopt het stijgingspercentage rustig op. Na het steilste stuk vlakt het richting top dan weer af. Je kan het begin van de klim bereiken na de grens via de Vaalser Strasse/Keltenstrasse/Alte Vaalser Strasse. Kom je via kant van de kerk aan de Tentstraat in Vaals dan is er de leuke doorsteek via Akenerstraat langs Klèng Wach (ooit kleinste douanekantoor van NL) naar de Alte Vaalser Strasse ook een mogelijkheid.

First relaxed on a cycle lane that runs parallel to the main road through mostly green surroundings. Turning right, it immediately goes up nicely through an S-curve. In the residential area, turn right again where it becomes less steep but the gradient continues for a while. Little traffic.

Eerst relaxed over een fietsstraat die parallel aan de hoofdweg loopt door een veelal groene omgeving. Als je rechtsaf slaat gaat het meteen lekker omhoog door een S-bocht. In de woonwijk weer rechtsaf waar het minder steil wordt maar de helling toch nog wel even lekker doortrekt. Weinig verkeer.
