The first section of the climb from the Perlenbach Dam to the junction with the ‘Alter Weg’ is relatively steep and, due to the heavy traffic on the country road, is best cycled in the cycle lane on the left-hand side of the road.

Der erste Teil des Anstiegs von der Perlenbachtalsperre bis zur Einmündung „Alter Weg“ ist relativ steil und sollte aufgrund der viel befahrenen Landstraße am besten auf dem Fahrradstreifen auf der linken Straßenseite gefahren werden. Ab Alter Weg sird es dann deutlich flacher. Asphalt ist gut.

The climb starts at the same point as Heidgen from the Perlenbachtalsperre. However, the climb turns right on the first road onto the Alterweg. At the end of Alterweg, turn right onto Hauptstrasse and ride through Höfen. The summit is at the junction Mühlenweg/K-26.
