Steep right from the start and it actually stays that way. A really steep climb, but as long as you tell yourself it's OK as long as you keep turning, you'll eventually get to the top. There is also a bench there where you can take a rest with a nice view.... read more

Direct vanaf het begin steil en dat blijft 'ie eigenlijk ook. Echt een kloteklim, maar als je maar tegen jezelf zegt dat het goed is zolang je maar blijft draaien kom je uiteindelijk wel boven. Daar staat ook een bankje waar je met mooi uitzicht even kan uitpuffen.

A hidden gem you must have done if you're in the Sauerland. It really is a dud, a terrible gut-biter, yet I'm surprised how few people - judging by my strava - have done it. It is a really nice climb, there is fine tarmac and you are treated to nice views. From the village the climb is steep right away, then it flattens out for a short while and then it is terribly steep for over a kilometre: on average about'15％with a stretch of 20％. The 'real' climb is 2.5 km. After that it is quite moderate and the pressure can be off the legs.

Een verborgen parel die je gedaan moet hebben als je in het Sauerland bent. Het is echt een kloteding, een vreselijke kuitenbijter, maar toch verbaast het me hoe weinig mensen hem - afgaande op mijn strava - gedaan hebben. Het is echt een mooie klim, er ligt prima asfalt en je word getrakteerd op een mooi uitzicht. Vanuit het dorp is de klim gelijk stijl, dan vlakt ie heel even af en daarna is het ruim een kilometer vreselijk stijl: gemiddeld zo'n 15％ met een stuk van 20％. De 'echte' klim is 2,5 km. Daarna is ie vrij schappelijk en kan de druk van de benen.
