In short: a long, quiet approach and a tough finish, both in terms of percentages and traffic. The first part is enjoyable. Nice quiet roads, sometimes parallel to the main road. The part next to the tunnel of the main road is one of the highlights. Arriving at Stuben you can see the beautiful hairpins upwards. You can also see the gallery tunnel.

In short: a long, quiet approach and a tough finish, both in terms of percentages and traffic.

The first part is enjoyable. Nice quiet roads, sometimes parallel to the main road. The part next to the tunnel of the main road is one of the highlights.

Arriving at Stuben you can see the beautiful hairpins upwards. You can also see the gallery tunnel. The biggest disadvantage is the traffic that has to go up the same way.

Once at the top the view is beautiful and a fast descent to Lech awaits you. After Lech it is by the way beautiful cycling along a gorge.

Kort samengevat: een lange rustige aanloop en een pittig slot, zowel qua percentages als verkeer.

Het eerste deel is genieten. Mooie rustige wegen, soms parallel aan de grote weg. Het stuk dat je naast de tunnel van de hoofdweg fietst is een van de hoogtepunten.

Bij Stuben aangekomen zie je de mooie haarspelden omhoog liggen. Ook de galerijtunnel kun je zien liggen. Het grootste nadeel is het verkeer dat dezelfde weg omhoog moet.

Als je eenmaal boven bent is het uitzicht mooi en wacht je een snelle afdaling naar Lech. Voorbij Lech is het trouwens prachtig fietsen langs een kloof.
