I did not ride the first 3.5 km of the climb, came down from the Rohrmoossattel. The first part is still climbing a bit, especially after the border it flattens out a lot and there are also some short descents. The road is good through a largely wide valley. Then, at the beginning of the steep part, the road suddenly changes into a real climb, with many more bends. This part is very irregular, so there are also some steeper parts. I was here on a very hot day, so it was really hard on the steep parts. The last 300m of the road flattens out considerably and you reach the pass height.

Ik heb de eerste 3,5 km van de klim niet gereden, kwam afgedaald vanaf het Rohrmoossattel. Het eerste deel klimt nog wel wat door, vooral na de grens vlakt het erg af en zitten er ook wat korte stukjes afdaling in. De weg is goed door een grotendeels breed dal. Dan bij het begin van het steile stuk veranderd de weg opeens in een echte klim, met veel meer bochten. Dit stuk is erg onregelmatig, waardoor er ook een stuk steilere stukken in zitten. Ik was hier op een erg warme dag, dus het was echt zwoegen op de steile stukken. De laatste 300m vlakt het gevoelig af en bereik je de pashoogte.

Climb worthwhile for the fact that it is the highest pass in Germany. This side is the easiest. First part through a beautiful open mountain landscape. Last part turns to the pass and is very steep. Road is a through road with traffic and does not really give an Alpine experience.

Klim de moeite waard om het feit dat het de hoogste pas van Duitsland is. Deze zijde is de makkelijkste. Eerste deel door een mooi open berglandschap. Laatste deel draait naar de pas en is pittig steil. Weg is doorgaande weg met verkeer en geeft niet echt een Alpen ervaring.
