A dead-end tarmac road into the forest. OK not quite dead-end because after the climb you can take a relatively flat gravel road towards the Fernsehturm where you can descend again via asphalt. During the climb you follow a stream valley and regularly you can hear the stream gurgling next to you. Other than that: no benchmarks in terms of steepness and no views because only forest. But your legs tell you enough because it's 2 kilometres of pretty much just riding in double digits. The fact that it is quite a good runner and runs over actually amazingly good tarmac is then a nice bonus. Lovely challenge.
Een doodlopend asfaltweggetje het bos in. OK niet helemaal doodlopend want na de klim kan je via een relatief vlakke gravelweg richting de Fernsehturm waar je via asfalt weer af kan dalen. Tijdens de klim volg je een beekdal en regelmatig hoor je het beekje klateren naast je. Verder: geen ijkpunten qua steilte en geen uitzichten want alleen maar bos. Maar je benen vertellen voldoende want het is 2 kilometer vrijwel alleen maar in de dubbele cijfers rijden. Dat het best een goede loper is en over eigenlijk verbazingwekkend goed asfalt loopt is dan wel mooi meegenomen. Heerlijke uitdaging.
