A lovely climb with varying gradients. A few kilometres of the route pass through tunnels, so be sure to take a torch with you! The road surface is generally good; in the upper section, towards the Italian border, there are lovely views of the Julian Alps.... read more

Schöner Anstieg mit wechselnden Gefälle. Ein paar Kilometer führen durch Tunnel, dementsprechend sollte Licht mitgenommen werden! Asphaltqualität überwiegend gut, im oberen Teil zur Grenze nach Italien hin schöne Sicht auf die Julischen Alpen.

Pretty tough climb, but maybe 1.5km of tunnel in it. It is well lit for your own visibility. The tarmac is fine and at the end is the border crossing with Italy

Best een pittige klim, maar misschien wel 1,5km tunnel erin. Het is goed verlicht voor je eigen zicht. Het asfalt is prima en aan het einde is de grensovergang met Italie

My first real mountain! in the beginning I had a lot of trouble finding a rhythm and exploded. Last stretch was very tough. Finally descended on the Italian side and then turned around again and cycled up . However, the Austrian side is the toughest side.

Mijn eerste echte berg! in het begin had ik veel moeite om een ritme te vinden en ontploft. Laatste stuk was erg pittig. Uiteindelijk aan de Italiaanse zijde afgedaald en toen weer omgedraaid en omhoog gefietst . Bij dat ik dit gedaan heb want dit was de mooiste kant. echter de oostenrijkse zijde is de zwaarste zijde.
