Eys (Script error: No such module "IPA".; Template:Langx Script error: No such module "IPA".) is a village in the municipality of Gulpen-Wittem, Limburg, the Netherlands. The town is located Script error: No such module "convert". from Gulpen and Script error: No such module "convert". from provincial capital Maastricht. Furthermore, it is characterised by its location in the hilly landscape of South Limburg. The village was first mentioned in 1193 in a document of the Sint-Pauluskapittel of Liège, Belgium, and was named after the river Eyserbeek.[1]
The Eyserbosweg (the road, Script error: No such module "Lang". in Dutch, that leads from the village to the forest, Script error: No such module "Lang".) is one of the hills to be climbed in the yearly professional cycle race Amstel Gold Race, first held in 1966. The organiser is not sure when the Eyserbosweg was first involved in the race.
It was also the hill that featured in the Open Dutch Championship Bag Carrying (Script error: No such module "Lang".), a race against the clock in which people had to carry a bag with sand up the Script error: No such module "convert". long hill. The weight of the bag was Script error: No such module "convert". (women), Script error: No such module "convert"., Script error: No such module "convert". or Script error: No such module "convert". (men). That championship had its roots in a bet made by a farmer who claimed in 1956 that his farm help would be able to carry a 100 kg bag to the top.
