Nice climb with sometimes nice views and quite a few altimeters. Between Enkirch and Starkenburg, the tarmac is a bit less smooth at times but still manageable. Just before Starkenburg there are nice views over the Moselle valley. Between the houses the percentage rises briefly, after the village it's mostly cycling out.
NB: In May 2023 the section between the church and Enkirch was broken up and by the looks of it it will stay that way for a while. You can bypass this via the Mühlweg (nice cobblestone climb, by the way).
