Large part closed to through traffic. Spicy climb lots of shade so good for hot days. On gravel bike or mtb through the forest to cross to the Steinplatte. Definitely recommended... read more

Groot deel afgesloten voor doorgaand verkeer. Pittige klim veel schaduw dus goed voor warme dagen. Op gravelbike of mtb door het bos door te steken naar de Steinplatte. Dat is zeker een aanrader

Very steep and, especially in the first three kilometres, hardly any sections where the pressure can be taken off the legs for a while. So it's a tough climb, but the views are beautiful!

Erg steil en zeker in de eerste drie kilometer nauwelijks stukken waar de druk even van de benen kan. Het is dus een taaie klim, maar het uitzicht is prachtig!

A short but challenging climb. A road with little traffic and the views are magnificent.

Krótki ale wymagający podjazd. Droga z małym natężeniem ruchu, a widoki wspaniałe.

Very steep climbing, the profile really does not lie. Road is good, mostly new-ish pavement, but there are many cattle grids along the way, so not too easy to descend fast. On road bikes, the only way to go from the top is down, unfortunately, but that also makes for a very nice and calm road. Upper two thirds are a toll road, so even fewer cars. Very nice alpine views.
