This is a beautiful, wonderfully tranquil climb, which nowhere gets really tough. I had imagined a little more of the views (you see quite little), but the forest and meadow environment is wonderfully rustic.... read more

Wonderful "climb". Lovely that almost the whole route is car-free. Asphalt is quite rough, but climbing no problem at all. There is a small stretch of gravel, of maybe 100 metres, in the route, but it was better than the asphalt there. The 6％ stretch just before the Raalkopf is one of the few stretches where you can see far ahead. Then you've been climbing for kilometres, and suddenly you see an increasingly steep stretch ahead of you. Then a short descent with a 15％ sign, not too bad in reality.
Just after the top, a nice view of the surroundings.

Beautiful route on car-free roads where you only have to cross a through road once during the whole long climb. First it goes fairly uphill towards the dam, then a flat section along the reservoir before continuing up through the forest with relaxed but varying percentages. Among all the forest, there are sometimes more open stretches. After the Raalkopf (at about'n 13 km) there is a very steep descent (sign 15％) where you have to watch out for loose gravel (to the left and right of the middle are clean tracks) and where you ride into a very beautiful little valley. After the summit, by the way, there is a very nice descent towards Küchelscheid.
