I have only descended this (after climbing the Hohe Acht from Oberbaar). Goes through a beautiful valley. Nowhere steep, except last short piece to Hohe Acht which is the same for all three climbs. Combi Oberbaar and Kesseling is super. Avoid the busy and wide road from Adenau.... read more

The traffic is very quiet. The first part of the climb it seems like you just drive on the flat (this is deception, heavier than you would think). As soon as you pass the village it gets very steep and heavy. It drops a bit now and then and it even descends a bit, but some parts are very steep.
