Did Praschberg today in mid-September. Due to the rain (and snow) this week there was lots of water on the road. It was steep and after 700m in altitude there was snow left and right. Got really hard shortly before the top and the descent to Sachrang was tough as well. Breaks did not work best under these conditions.
This crisp climb is recommended without reservation. Why?
1. it starts off steeply, then flattens out for a short while and then quickly picks up again. An altitude profile without mercy.
2. it is a side road with hardly any traffic, and if it is, then no annoying tourists.
3. tarred surface in very good condition.
4. it goes up the southern flank of the Praschberg, which means the road is quickly dry. In summer it's really hot, but short forest sections offer relaxation.
5. about halfway up (in the forest to Eiberg) there is a natural fountain that runs all year round.
6. there are many great views on the way up, but the panorama at the top cannot be topped. The view from east to south to west is phenomenally rewarding.
7. the descents over the Erlerberg to the west down to Erl or to the east down to Sachrang offer themselves and thus the trip becomes a pass experience.
Dieser knackige Anstieg ist ohne Einschränkung zu empfehlen. Warum?
1. Es fängt ordentlich steil an, flacht dann ein kurzes Stück ab und zieht dann aber schnell wieder an. Ein Höhenprofil ohne Gnade.
2. Es ist eine kaum befahrene Nebenstraße, und wenn, dann keine nervigen Touristen.
3. Teerbelag in sehr gutem Zustand.
4. Es geht auf der Südflanke des Praschbergs hoch, d.h. die Straße ist schnell trocken. Im Sommer wird's zwar richtig heiß, doch kurze Waldstücke bieten Erholung.
5. Etwa auf halber Höhe (im Wald nach Eiberg) befindet sich ein Naturbrunnen, der ganzjährig läuft.
6. Auf dem Weg noch oben hat man viele tolle Ausblicke, aber das Panorama oben ist nicht zu toppen. Der Blick von Ost über Süd bis West ist phänomenale Belohnung.
7. Die Abfahrten über den Erlerberg nach West runter nach Erl oder nach Ost runter nach Sachrang bieten sich an und damit wird die Fahrt zum Passerlebnis.
