The Eyserbosweg is located at 20 km before the finish of the Cauberg. The climb marks the start of the final and is used by race favourites as one of the hills to place their attacks. It’s part of the section of climbs: Kruisberg (Wahlwiller), Eyserbosweg, Fromberg and Keutenberg. After that the cyclists climb the Cauberg, Geulhemmerberg and Bemelerberg until the finish.
