Schöne, aber steile Strecke. Die Steigung ist gut 9 Km lang mit einer Gesamtsteigung von +/- 900 Hm. Die Steigungsprozente sind fast immer im zweistelligen Bereich. Der Asphalt ist einwandfrei, d.h. voll Rennradtauglich. Am Ende der Steigung ist das Berghaus Malbun (Gasthaus, Restaurant)
As you can see from my photos's, the farm at kilometre 9.5 has taken the road as pasture. I didn't dare pass those cows, so I didn't do the last 3 kilometres (I did ride the wrong way first to Berghaus Malbun, where there is a free toilet).
For the rest, it was a really fine climb AND descent with nice views over Liechtenstein and other places.
Zoals je op mijn foto's kan zien, heeft de boerderij op kilometer 9,5 de weg ingenomen als weide. Ik durfde niet voorbij die koeien, dus de laatste 3 kilometers heb ik niet gedaan (ik ben wel eerst fout gereden naar Berghaus Malbun, waar een gratis wc is).
Voor de rest was het echt een prima klim én afdaling met mooi uitzicht over o.a. Liechtenstein.
Beautiful challenging climb. Heavy but worthwhile. The views along the way are beautiful. Rhine valley, Liechtenstein and Austria.
Mooie uitdagende klim. Zwaar maar de moeite waard. Het uitzicht onderweg is mooi. Rijndal, Liechtenstein en Oostenrijk.
