Heavy but very beautiful
Gets tough from the barriers.
Car-free climb is always nice. Seen a few marmotte in this marmotte paradise.
The Hochwurtenspeicher descent is much worse than this descent.

Zwaar maar heel mooi
Wordt zwaar vanaf de slagbomen.
Autovrije klim is altijd leuk. Paar marmotte gezien in dit marmotte paradijs.
De Hochwurtenspeicher afdaling is veeeel slechter dan deze afdaling.

Hard but grandiose climb, which except for one flat kilometre gives almost constant double gradients. It is well worth the effort, however, because almost the entire route you are treated to beautiful views. From the Barrier you cycle into the Kleine Zirknitztal and the scenery actually becomes fairytale-like (except for some construction traffic). The final kilometres from the Kegelesee are downright stunning. During these kilometres, you are also accompanied by an army of marmots, which makes the climb all the more exceptional.
F A N T A S T I C S !

Loodzware, doch grandioze beklimming, die uitgezonderd één vlakke kilometer vrijwel constant dubbele stijgingpercentages geeft. Het is het afzien echter meer dan waard, want vrijwel de hele route word je getrakteerd op prachtige vergezichten. Vanaf de barriëre fiets je het Kleine Zirknitztal in en wordt de omgeving zowaar sprookjesachtig (met uitzondering van wat bouwverkeer). De slotkilometers vanaf de Kegelesee zijn ronduit verbluffend. Tijdens deze kilometers word je bovendien vergezeld door een leger van marmotten, wat de klim helemaal uitzonderlijk maakt.
F A N T A S T I S C H !

I myself stayed in this valley at the campsite in Lassach. I don't know why, but I missed this climb.
In this valley you can do several climbs, for example from Sagritz to the Sadnighaus - 10 km of buffeting with mostly double percentages. Road surface is fair to good.
Or to Rettenbach - 6 km climb from the valley. Also tough percentages with varying road surface.
The roads from the valley are here almost all with double percentages. Some stop soon and turn into gravel roads - to be able to ride a 'round' a MTB is more suitable.

Ik heb zelf in dit dal op de camping in Lassach gestaan. Ik weet niet waarom maar deze beklimming heb ik gemist..
In dit dal kan je verschillende beklimming doen, bijvoorbeeld vanuit Sagritz naar het Sadnighaus - 10 km buffelen met veelal dubbele percentages. Wegdek is redelijk tot goed.
Of naar Rettenbach - 6km klimmen vanuit het dal. Ook pittige percentages met wisselend wegdek.
De weggetjes die vanuit het dal zijn hier vrijwel allemaal met dubbele percentages. Sommige houden al snel op en gaan over in grintwegen - om hier een 'rondje' te kunnen rijden is een MTB wat geschikter.

Nature is great and you get to almost 2400m high. Car-free and you only see some cows on the road. Road surface is fair to good.

Natuur is geweldig en je komt op bijna 2400m hoog. Autovrij en je ziet alleen wat koeien op de weg. Wegdek is redelijk tot goed.
