Although this climb is - slightly - less difficult than its neighbour, it still gets an extra star from me (and the 5 stars are more than deserved). Firstly, you don't completely blow yourself up at the start, allowing you to enjoy the rest of the climb just a bit more, and secondly, the initial section is just a bit nicer in terms of views. Doesn't take away from the fact that the other variant also has a lot to offer, of course.
Anyway: So a particularly beautiful and very challenging climb with large sections in double digits. Beautiful views in the beginning and at the end, in between which you are among the trees. After the climb you can continue to Albrechtsplatz (or descend to Oberkirchen) so also excellent to include in a route.
Hoewel deze klim - iets - minder zwaar is dan de buurman via Am Hebel krijgt hij van mij toch een ster extra (en zijn de 5 sterren meer dan verdiend). Ten eerste blaas je je niet volkomen op in het begin waardoor je de rest van de klim net wat meer kan genieten en ten tweede is het begintraject net wat mooier qua uitzicht. Neemt niet weg dat de andere variant natuurlijk ook heel wat te bieden heeft.
Maar goed: Een bijzonder fraaie en zeer uitdagende klim dus met grote stukken in de dubbele cijfers. Mooie uitzichten in het begin en op het eind, daartussen zit je tussen de bomen. Na de klim kan je doorsteken naar de Albrechtsplatz (of afdalen naar Oberkirchen) dus ook uitstekend om in een route op te nemen.
