Nach der Durchfahrt durch ein schönes Dorf taucht dieser Anstieg etwas überraschend auf und man erblickt eine kurze Wand vor sich, die sich aber gut erklimmen lässt.

Between two churches and the beautiful castle of Birgel, the climb is relaxed but that changes when you turn left because then you see the road steeply uphill. At the top there is a 14％ sign and that will probably be the case on the steepest part. You are tight between houses so no view but the slope is nicely visible this way.
Tussen twee kerken en het mooie slot van Birgel gaat het relaxed omhoog maar dat verandert als je linksaf slaat want dan zie je de weg knalhard omhoog lopen. Bovenaan staat een bord 14％ en dat zal op het steilste stuk ook wel het geval zijn. Je zit strak tussen de huizen dus geen uitzicht maar de helling is wel mooi zichtbaar zo.
