Nice climb! Not very exciting. Good road surface but especially very busy in the summer months
with tourist traffic

Leuke klim! Niet heel spannend. Goed wegdek maar vooral erg druk in de zomermaanden
met toeristisch verkeer

The main road to the pass is wide and quite busy. Partly even 2+1 lane to be able to overtake slow traffic. Cycling on these kind of B-roads is not my preference. From the village to the top it becomes a smaller traffic free road. Lots of hikers and e-bikers. Nice if you want to reach the highest point in the Black Forest, but there are much nicer climbs here.

De hoofdweg naar de pas is breed en redelijk druk bereden. Deels zelfs 2+1 baan om langzaam verkeer in te kunnen halen. Fietsen over dit soort B-wegen heeft niet mijn voorkeur. Vanaf het dorpje naar de top wordt het een smallere verkeersvrije weg. Wel veel wandelaars en e-bikers. Leuk als je het hoogste punt in het Zwarte Woud graag wilt bereiken, maar er zijn hier veel mooiere klimmen.

Only really heavy if you drive the parking lot and the Franz Klarmeyerweg takes to the absolute top. Last piece of road is really steep.

Enkel echt zwaar als je de parking op rijdt en de Franz klarmeyerweg erbij pakt tot de absolute top. Laatste stuk weg is echt heel steil.
