Like the other review - expect this to be quiet and the new road adds an extra climb before the last real test to the top. Excellent climb and well worth it.

A marvellous, long climb on a newly made road with virtually no traffic! After the turn-off from the Passwangstraße at the latest, the ride through Gnadenthal becomes very idyllic and almost lonely. Most of the ascent leads through meadows and mountain pastures and therefore offers very beautiful views. There are two challenging ramps and the final ascent to conquer, with easier sections in between. A real highlight!
