From the Vroenhof, the road already starts to rise slightly but after the railway track it goes up a bit harder. After the viaduct, turn right (left you can descend towards Meerssen) into the last stretch of asphalt after which the asphalt stops at a beautiful large villa / castle. From here, the road continues as a gravel road (with sometimes coarse gravel) with a brisk climb in the forest. Further on, you enter agricultural areas and it is nice cycling out in beautiful surroundings.... read more

From the Vroenhof, the road already starts to rise slightly but after the railway track it goes up a bit harder. After the viaduct, turn right (left you can descend towards Meerssen) into the last stretch of asphalt after which the asphalt stops at a beautiful large villa / castle. From here, the road continues as a gravel road (with sometimes coarse gravel) with a brisk climb in the forest. Further on, you enter agricultural areas and it is nice cycling out in beautiful surroundings.

Vanaf de Vroenhof begint de weg al licht te stijgen maar na het spoor gaat het iets harder omhoog. Na het viaduct rechtsaf (linksaf kan je afdalen richting Meerssen) het laatste asfaltstuk in waarna het asfalt stopt bij een fraaie grote villa / kasteel. Vanaf hier gaat de weg verder als gravelweg (met soms grove gravel) waarbij het in het bos pittig oploopt. Verderop kom je in agrarisch gebied en is het in een mooie omgeving leuk uitfietsen.
