The Cauberg is a hill in Valkenburg aan de Geul, a town in the southern part of the Netherlands. The hill played an important role in the early development of tourism in Valkenburg. Today, several major tourist attractions are situated on or nearby Cauberg. The hill's fame is mainly due to the many cycling races and championships that were held here. The length of the climb is around 1200 m, with a maximum grade of 12%.
The first part of the word Cauberg may be derived from the Celtic word kadeir, meaning 'height' or 'hill'. Berg is a Germanic word meaning 'hill' or 'mount' as well. Perhaps the family names 'Cauberghs' and 'Van Caldenborgh' are related to Cauberg. Previously the name of the hill was also spelled 'Couberg'. Although the road via Cauberg formed the shortest connection between Valkenburg and Maastricht, in former ages most unmotorized traffic due to the steepness of the hill followed the longer but much more level route along the Geul river. The road was paved with cobblestones only in 1934; in 1969 the cobblestone surface was replaced by asphalt.
Marianne Vos beklimt opnieuw de berg waar ze haar wereldtitel van 2012 veiligstelde: de Cauberg in Valkenburg. De Brabantse legt ook uit hoe je deze beroemdste wielerberg van Nederland het beste kunt aanpakken.
Och, wat missen we de Amstel Gold Race dit jaar. Onze enige echte Nederlandse wielerklassieker. Er is dan wel een virtuele editie, maar wij verlangen toch naar het echte werk met al die wielerfans langs de weg. Om de pijn te verzachten, kijken we nog een keer naar Erik die de Cauberg beklimt onder luid gejuich van het publiek. De snelheid is niet heel indrukwekkend, maar hij komt mede dankzij ploegleider Frank met zijn megafoon wel boven.
