When you turn off the main road at the bottom, you see a dead straight ladder to heaven through a residential area and it starts right away with double-digit gradients. At the top in the forest, it flattens out a little, but remains challenging. The nice thing is that it is a one-way road, both the ascent and the descent, so you can really let go. The lower part is also the ascent to the highest mountain in the area, the Melibokus - this ascent is also highly recommended. From the turn-off to M... read more

When you turn off the main road at the bottom, you see a dead straight ladder to heaven through a residential area and it starts right away with double-digit gradients. At the top in the forest, it flattens out a little, but remains challenging. The nice thing is that it is a one-way road, both the ascent and the descent, so you can really let go.
The lower part is also the ascent to the highest mountain in the area, the Melibokus - this ascent is also highly recommended. From the turn-off to Melibokus, the route is much flatter and only gets steeper once more when you cycle up to the castle. The castle is open to the public.

Wenn man unten von der Hauptstraße abbiegt, sieht man eine schnurgerade Himmelsleiter durch ein Wohngebiet und es geht direkt ordentlich los mit zweistelligen Steigungen. Oben im Wald wird es etwas flacher, bleibt aber anspruchsvoll. Das schöne: es handelt sich um eine Einbahnstraße, sowohl der Anstieg als auch die Abfahrt, da kann man richtig laufen lassen.
Der untere Teil ist auch der Anstieg zum höchsten Berg der Gegend, dem Melibokus - auch dieser Anstieg ist sehr zu empfehlen. Ab dem Abzweig zum Melibokus ist es deutlich flacher und wird nur noch einmal steil, wenn man zur Burg hochfährt. Die Burg ist bewirtschaftet.
