This climb is a traffic-calmed alternative to the Selbecker climb (Eilpe to Waldbauer), but it is not at least as difficult. The first few kilometres are still gentle. Initially, the route passes the Ambrock quarry on a poor, partly potholed surface, but then the surface improves for the rest of the route and the scenery along the Hamperbach is also quite attractive.

This climb is a traffic-calmed alternative to the Selbecker climb (Eilpe to Waldbauer), but it is not at least as difficult. The first few kilometres are still gentle. Initially, the route passes the Ambrock quarry on a poor, partly potholed surface, but then the surface improves for the rest of the route and the scenery along the Hamperbach is also quite attractive. In the second half, however, there are two big waves. The first wave in particular, which leads out of the forest and onto the plateau, should not be underestimated. The second wave then leads through woodland again, where you can also pick up some momentum from the plateau.

Bei diesem Anstieg handelt es sich um eine verkehrsberuhigte Alternative zum Selbecker Anstieg (Eilpe nach Waldbauer), die jedoch nicht minderschwer ist. Die ersten Kilometer sind noch sachte. Anfangs geht es bei noch schlechtem, teils löchrigen Belag am Steinbruch Ambrock vorbei, dann bessert sich der Belag für die restliche Strecke jedoch und auch landschaftlich ist die Fahrt am Hamperbach doch recht ansprechend. In der zweiten Hälfte warten dann jedoch zwei ordentliche Wellen. Insbesondere die erste Welle mit bis zu 12％, welche aus dem Wald hinaus auf die Hochebene führt, sollte man nicht unterschätzen (hier wird es zeitweise etwas eng, sollte Verkehr auftauchen). Die zweite Welle führt dann wieder durch Waldgebiet, hier kann man auch etwas Schwung aus der Ebene mitnehmen.
