It is recommended to tackle this ascent from the roundabout as indicated on climbfinder map. I started from the Coop, and had a street crossing with a parking lot to navigate through. After, crossing over the highway bridge, the scenery begins to change a bit. Some shaded areas through a forest like landscape offers shade. The entire ascent is by no means scenic, you are rewarded at the top, in the restaurant parking lot. Minimal traffic on Monday early afternoon. Descent is narrow and steep.
Really nice demanding ascent, without any real possibility of recovery, full draft all the way to the top.
Richtig schöner anspruchsvoller Anstieg, ohne richtige erholungsmoehlichkeit voller Durchzug bis nach oben
