Little to add to the previous experience. The waterfalls from small to large are a wonderful thread throughout the climb, which surely should not be underestimated. I was unlucky that it was cold and drizzly at the top, which is an instant game changer anyway. Regardless, a beautiful climb!

Weinig toe te voegen aan de vorige ervaring. De watervallen van klein naar groot zijn een prachtige rode draad doorheen de beklimming, die toch niet te onderschatten valt. Ik had de pech dat het boven koud en miezerig was, wat toch meteen een spelbederver is. Hoe dan ook een fraaie beklimming!

The first part of the climb is dotted with impressive waterfalls. Then a number of delightful hairpin bends and beguiling tunnels (don't forget lights!) lead you to Austria's highest dam (it's just that I've already used up the word "impressive", otherwise it would have applied to this dam as well). The only reason I don't give this climb 5 stars is because there are lights in two places, where at worst you have to wait up to 20 minutes before being allowed to pass. Good for safety, but it does completely break your rhythm. But for those not aiming for Stravat time, this climb is a must. Not too tough either, courtesy of several recuperation moments, with milder percentages and even short bits of descent.

Het eerste gedeelte van de beklimming ligt bezaaid met indrukwekkende watervallen. Vervolgens leiden een aantal heerlijke haarspeldbochten en bekoorlijke tunneltjes (vergeet geen lichtjes!) je naar de hoogste dam van Oostenrijk (het is dat ik het woord “indrukwekkend” al heb opgebruikt, want anders was het ook voor deze dam van toepassing geweest). De enige reden waarom ik deze klim geen 5 sterren geef, is omdat er op twee plekken lichten staan, waar je in het slechste geval tot 20 minuten moet wachten voor je door mag. Goed voor de veiligheid, maar het breekt wel compleet je ritme. Maar voor wie geen Stravatijd nastreeft, is deze beklimming een must. Niet al te zwaar bovendien, met dank aan diverse recuperatiemomenten, met mildere percentages en zelfs korte stukjes afdaling.
