Beautiful climb where, in clear weather, you are treated to fantastic views of the summit. At the valley station of the chairlift, it takes a while to find the ascent; you have to cross right past the building over a gravel trade. One of the most beautiful climbs in the region!

Prachtige klim waarbij je bij helder weer getrakteerd wordt op fantastische uitzichten op de top. Bij het dalstation van de stoeltjeslift is het even zoeken naar de opgang; je moet dan rechts langs het gebouw over een grindhandel doorsteken. Een van de mooiste klimmen in de regio!

Nice, steady climb. As everywhere in the Black Forest, the tarmac is perfect. Magnificent views of the summit and red kites (birds of prey) flying close to the road.

Mooie, regelmatige klim. Zoals overal in het zwarte woud is het asfalt perfect. Prachtig zicht op de top en rode wouwen (roofvogels) die tot vlak bij de weg vliegen.

Wonderful climb. Very spicy and generally quite steep, constantly about 8%. At the cable car it is a bit of a search, you have to pass behind the 'valley station' (you are already at 1150m altitude) about 200 meters of bad gravel. After the barrier it is still 3,5km 6,5% and it is really enjoying. The last part you climb above the tree line and you have a beautiful view of the wide surroundings, even the Vosges Mountains and the Alps.

Prachtige beklimming. Erg pittig en over het algemeen best wel steil, constant zo'n 8%. Bij de kabelbaan is het even zoeken, je moet achter het 'dalstation' (je zit hier al op 1150m hoogte) langs over ongeveer 200 meter slecht gravel. Na de slagboom is het nog 3,5km 6,5% en is het echt genieten. Het laatste stuk klim je boven de boomgrens uit en heb je een prachtig uitzicht op de wijde omgeving, zoals zelfs de Vogezen en de Alpen.

Nice climb on a quiet road with new asphalt. After 7-8km you come to the beginning of a cable car. You have to go right around it via a narrow gravel path. After a barrier and 100m of unpaved road there is asphalt again: here you will encounter no traffic at all.

Mooie klim over een rustige weg met nieuw asfalt. Na 7-8km kom je bij het begin van een kabelbaan. Hier moet je rechts omheen via een smal gravel pad. Na een slagboom en 100m onverhard is er opnieuw asfalt: hier kom je helemaal geen verkeer meer tegen.

Spicy but beautiful. Almost no traffic, great road and beautiful surroundings: what more could you want as a cyclist?

Pittig maar prachtig. Bijna geen verkeer, prima weg en mooie omgeving: wat wil je als fietser nog meer?
