Falkertsee, a little lake on top, a small ski area where it is home to Heidi und Peter.
Below is a mega big statue of Heidi, so it could be a nice friendly climb.
When my cycling buddy suggested this climb, I thought, what should I do with a 6 km climb one day, we'll do two or three in the neighbourhood.
When I saw the profile, I got a different idea. 9.9％ average over 7 km is not a breakfast climb.
As he is much slower than me I let him take a 15 minute lead. Unfortunately after the first turn I was already behind him. The first kilometer is on 14％....
After about 4 kilometres of suffering you come to a resort with luxurious wooden alpine houses, where the rich of the world stay during the holidays, very relaxed and luxurious. I drove on and enjoying the view to my right I could see it was going up fast. The worst was yet to come, although you don't notice it. The forest slowly gives way and there's even an S-curve... The road is good and there is not much traffic, but you see the 10％ and more going up in front of you and it is still 2 kilometers. Then, when you almost give up, the mountain god does a little more and you see 13, 14 and even 16％ passing by. I didn't know that you can make warm asphalt stick to the ground on such steep terrain...
Once at the top, you can relax a bit and find a place at the lake, some shade, a strudel and a drink and forget about the torture to Heidi!
