The main thing has already been said about this climb.

If you start from Bingen centre (plausible I think), it's actually also climbing up to the starting point.

The first part is definitely the toughest but also the most beautiful. A narrow road, which is more like a wide forest path where you are all alone. You feel really close in the forest, overlooking the Rhine.

I found the asphalt in the short descent to be really bad anyway. It was definitely good watching out and some puzzling to find a route among the holes, pits and sometimes loose stones.

The second part you also cycle through a forest, but there the sides are not as steep, giving you a more wide-open effect. This makes you feel less like you are cycling on a mountain. But above all, you have few reference points so the gradient is hard to estimate. A long road in front of you that seems to ascend slowly turns out to be more difficult after all. Only your bike computer at that point explains why you have to pedal so hard.

I had Bingen as my starting point (was there by car). Apparently you have to put a parking disc or pay to park your car everywhere. But in the Rosengartenweg there is a large car park where you can safely leave your car for a whole day. Da's a short tough climb from the village, though. So if you want to return to your car after a hike there, definitely have a bit of energy left I would say :o)

Het belangrijkste is al gezegd over deze klim.

Als je vanuit Bingen centrum vertrekt (aannemelijk denk ik), is het eigenlijk ook al klimmen tot aan het startpunt.

Het eerste deel is zeker het zwaarste maar ook het mooiste. Een smalle weg, die meer weg heeft van een breed bospad waar je helemaal alleen bent. Je voelt je echt dicht in het bos, met uitzicht op de Rijn.

Ik vond het asfalt in de korte afdaling toch wel erg slecht. Het was zeker goed oppassen en wat puzzelen om een traject te zoeken tussen de gaten, putten en soms losse stenen.

Het tweede deel fiets je ook door een bos, maar daar zijn de flanken niet zo steil, waardoor je een wijdser effect krijgt. Hierdoor krijg je minder het gevoel dat je op een berg aan het fietsen bent. Maar vooral heb je weinig referentiepunten zodat de hellingsgraad moeilijk in te schatten is. Een lange weg voor je die ogenschijnlijk langzaam oploopt, blijkt toch meer moeite te kosten. Enkel je fietscomputer verklaart op dat moment waarom je zo hard moet trappen.

Ik had Bingen als vertrekpunt (was er met de auto). Je moet blijkbaar overal een parkeerschijf leggen of betalen om je auto te parkeren. Maar in de Rosengartenweg is een grote parking waar je je auto gerust een hele dag kan laten staan. Da's wel een korte pittige klim vanuit het dorp. Dus als je na een tocht daar terug naar je auto wilt, zeker een beetje energie over houden zou ik zeggen :o)

THE climb (!) par excellence between Bingen - Mainz - Worms - Bad Kreuznach. You have to climb almost 500 metres in altitude in just under 10 km. You won't find this anywhere else in the region.
The lower part of the climb is very challenging (1km at 10%). After that, the forest becomes a little more relaxed with great views. At Heiligkreuz (restaurant) there is a left-hand bend, which is the steepest section (12-14%). The lowest gear must be used here for 400-500 metres. Once you reach the larch meadow, the route even goes downhill for around 1 - 1.5 kilometres before the "cream of the crop" begins on the last 6 kilometres. From here on, there is no time to catch your breath and you always have to pedal at an incline of 6 - 9 kilometres. There is a nice restaurant at the summit.
Oh yes, there are hardly any cars (even closed to cars on Sundays) and the surface on the descent and the last few kilometres is rather poor, but still easy to ride.

DER Anstieg (!) schlechthin zwischen Bingen - Mainz - Worms - Bad Kreuznach. Es gilt, knapp 500 Höhemeter auf knapp 10km zu überwinden. Findet man so in der Region nirgends. Ohne die kurze Abfahrt mittendrin wären es sogar noch mehr Höhenmeter.
Der untere Teil des Anstiegs ist gleich sehr fordernd (1km bei 10%). Danach wird es im Wald etwas entspannter bei tollen Ausblicken. Am Heiligkreuz (Restaurant) folgt eine Linkskurve, welche den steilsten Abschnitt bietet (12-14%). Hier muss auf 400-500m der kleinste Gang aufgelegt werden. An der Lärchenwiese angekommen, geht es für rund 1 - 1.5km sogar bergab, bevor das "Sahnestück" auf den letzten 6km beginnt. Ab hier gibt es kein Verschnaufen mehr und man hat immer bei einer Steigung von 6% bis 9% zu kurbeln. Am Gipfel gibt es ein nettes Restaurant ("Lauschhütte").
Ach ja, Autos kaum vorhanden (sonntags sogar für Autos gesperrt) und Belag in der Abfahrt und auf den letzten Kilometer eher schlecht, aber noch gut fahrbar.

Very nice climb, perfectly asphalted in the lower part and no traffic. Great views through the large deciduous trees of the Rhine valley, the Bingen mouse tower and the Ehrenfels castle ruins. If you want, you can take a break halfway along the route at the Heiligkreuz forester's lodge. Further up, the road surface deteriorates somewhat, but is always easy to ride.

Sehr schöner Aufstieg, im unteren Teil perfekt asphaltiert und kein Verkehr. Tolle Ausblicke durch die großen Laubbäume auf das Rheintal, den Mäuseturm von Bingen und die Burgruine Ehrenfels. Wer möchte, kann auf halber Strecke im Forsthaus Heiligkreuz Rast machen. Weiter oben wird der Straßenbelag etwas schlechter, ist aber immer gut zu fahren.
