A long but challenging climb up to the Kandel. Basically, the route starts in Denzlingen with a slight incline, giving you some time to warm up. The route is moderately busy as far as St. Peter, beyond which there is basically no traffic. There are some side bays where you can take a break. I found it difficult to find a steady rhythm. In particular, the stitch behind the St. Peter junction and the last 4 kilometres are tough, but here you ride in the shade of the forest slopes. I found the surface perfectly fine. A thin, dark layer has been applied in patches, especially in the upper section, but it is easy to ride on.

Langer aber durchaus fordernder Anstieg hoch zum Kandel. Im Grunde geht es bereits in Denzlingen mit leichter Steigung los, man hat etwas Zeit sich aufzuwärmen. Bis St.Peter ist die Strecke in Maßen befahren, dahinter besteht im Grunde kein Verkehr. Im unteren Abschnitt gibt es Seitenbuchten, an denen man eine Pause einlegen kann. Ich habe mich schwer getan einen gleichmäßigen Rythmus zu finden. Insbesondere der Stich hinter dem Abzweig St. Peter, der 9%-Abschnitt hinter "Sägendobel" und der Stich auf den letzten 2km haben es in sich, man fährt hier jedoch im Schatten der Waldhänge. Den Belag fand ich vollkommen in Ordnung. Gerade im oberen Abschnitt ist fleckenhaft zusätzlich eine dünne, dunkle Schicht aufgetragen, diese lässt sich aber gut befahren.

Nice climb but you need some power in your legs to get to the top...the view at the top is your reward for the hard work.

Mooie klim maar wel wat power in de benen nodig om tot boven te geraken..het uitzicht boven is je beloning voor het harde labour
