This is a short climb (which I recommend doing in conjunction with the ascent of the Pfaffenschlick pass from Lobsann), on a very quiet, well-surfaced forest road.
The road is entirely surrounded by forest, but on the bend, at around 460m, you can make out a beautiful view to the south.
Caution: the road continues gently downhill for 1km until a sign indicates that this is military ground. It is forbidden to continue, even if the road climbs a little further. About 500m after this sign is a forest hut, and a barrier prevents access to the rest of the road. In any case, at this point you are almost at the top of the hill, right in the middle of the trees (altitude 507m). The wisest thing to do is to stop at the prohibition sign a little before...
Courte montée (que je conseille de faire plutôt en enchaînement avec la montée du col du Pfaffenschlick depuis Lobsann), sur une route forestière très calme et très bien bitumée.
La route est entièrement entourée de forêt, mais dans le virage, vers 460m, vous pouvez distinguer une belle vue au sud.
Attention : la route se poursuit en pente douce pendant 1km jusqu'à ce qu'un panneau indique qu'il s'agit d'un terrain militaire. Il est interdit de continuer, même si la route monte encore un peu. Environ 500m après ce panneau se trouve une cabane forestière, et une barrière interdit l'accès à la suite de la route. De toute façon, à cet endroit vous êtes quasiment au sommet de la colline, en plein milieu des arbres (altitude 507m). Le plus sage est de s'arrêter au panneau d'interdiction un peu avant...
