This ascent consists of very different parts: at the bottom of the village, it starts quite steeply into the narrow valley. After the picturesque Elsbachmühle mill on the right, the valley opens up and the route runs along the Elsbach on a wide, well-paved road. Forests and pastures alternate on both sides. After a steep hairpin bend, you come to the equally wide Eberstädter Straße, which you follow downhill for a while before turning sharp left onto a very small, steep road.

This ascent consists of very different parts: at the bottom of the village, it starts quite steeply into the narrow valley. After the picturesque Elsbachmühle mill on the right, the valley opens up and the route runs along the Elsbach on a wide, well-paved road. Forests and pastures alternate on both sides. After a steep hairpin bend, you come to the equally wide Eberstädter Straße, which you follow downhill for a while before turning sharp left onto a very small, steep road. The lower part is steep through the forest, then back through beautiful fields with great views, the upper part is flatter through the forest.
The ascent from Eberstadt is better developed.

Dieser Anstieg besteht aus sehr unterschiedlichen Teilen: unten im Ort geht es recht steil los in das enge Tal hinein, hinter der malerischen Elsbachmühle zur rechten öffnet sich das Tal und es geht auf einer breiten, sehr gut asphaltierten Straße am Elsbach entlang. Zu beiden Seiten wechseln sich Wälder und Weiden ab. Nach einer steilen Serpentine stößt man auf die ebenso sehr breite Eberstädter Straße; diese geht es ein Stück bergab, bevor man links scharf in ein sehr kleines, steiles Sträßchen einbiegt. Im untern Teil steil durch den Wald, dann wieder durch schöne Felder mit toller Aussicht, im oberen Teil flacher durch den Wald.
Der Anstieg von Eberstadt aus ist besser ausgebaut.
