This climb is good to combine in a nice tour with the schauinsland. +-90km from Freiburg. Ascent is not too difficult but also not very nice until the village of st . Peter very busy road. At the village left towards the kandel. A short descent and immediately steep right up. It flattens out a little bit to drive along a few houses. From there it gets seriously steep. And very irregular. As soon as you drive through a swinging corner (see photo) it becomes really hard. This lasts for about 2 ki... read more

This climb is good to combine in a nice tour with the schauinsland. +-90km from Freiburg.
Ascent is not too difficult but also not very nice until the village of st . Peter very busy road. At the village left towards the kandel. A short descent and immediately steep right up. It flattens out a little bit to drive along a few houses. From there it gets seriously steep. And very irregular. As soon as you drive through a swinging corner (see photo) it becomes really hard. This lasts for about 2 kilometers. Then it flattens out a bit. And then even completely flat. Enjoy it because the steepest kilometer is still to come. The view is definitely worth it. And a pastry and coffee at the top too. Beware of the descent, bad road surface. Direction Waldkirch. At the bottom is new asphalt. With a bit of pedalling. And don't be to afraid, you can reach the 85km p/h here.

Deze beklimming is goed te combineren in een leuk rondje met de schauinsland. +-90km vanuit freiburg.
Beklimming is niet al te moeilijk maar ook niet heel mooi tot aan het dorpje st . Peter erg drukke weg. Bij het dorpje linksaf richting de kandel. Stukje afdalen en meteen steil rechts omhoog. Het vlakt daarna nog even af om langs een paar huisjes te rijden. Vanaf daar word het serieus steil. En erg onregelmatig. Zodra je door een slinger bocht rijd(zie foto) word het pas echt afzien. Dat duurt een kilometer of 2. Dan vlakt het iets af. Om vervolgens zelfs helemaal af te vlakken. Geniet ervan want de steilste kilometer komt er nog aan. Het uitzicht is zeker de moeite waard. En een gebakje en een kopje koffie op de top ook. Pas op met de afdaling slecht wegdek. Richting waldkirch. Onderaan ligt nieuw asfalt. Met een beetje mee trappen. En niet te bang zijn haal je hier wel de 85km p/h

Nice climb with short descent to rest the legs. Fairly strong wooded climb with here and there beautiful views.

Leuke klim met korte afdaling om de benen even te rusten. Vrij sterk beboste klim met hier en daar mooie uitzichten.
