A must for spinners and those who want burning thighs! Depending on the gear ratio and power, you won't get anywhere! :) It was very strenuous but well worth it. You have to be careful going downhill as there are occasional fallen rocks on the road. Good brakes are recommended as you have to brake a lot on the sharp bends.... read more

As described above, this climb is short and extremely tough. Not recommended for beginners in cycling, as technical handling is also essential (clipping in hardly possible in places, steep descent...). I only recommend the climb on Sundays, as it is closed to traffic, which means you can ride in a serpentine line.

Dieser Anstieg ist wie viel beschrieben kurz und extrem hart. Nicht zu empfehlen für Beginner im Radsport, da auch technisches Handling zwingend nötig ist (Einclippen teilweise kaum möglich, steile Abfahrt...). Ich empfehle den Anstieg nur Sonntags, da für Verkehr gesperrt, dadurch ist eine Schlangenlinienfahren möglich.

Für Spinner und solche die brennende Oberschenkel wollen ein muss! Je nach Übersetzung und Kraft kommt man gar nicht vorwärts! :) Es wahr sehr anstrengend hat sich aber gelohnt. Beim runterfahren muss man vorsichtig sein denn es hat gelegentlich heruntergefallene Steine auf der Strasse. Hierfür sind gute Bremsen empfehlenswert da man durchaus viel bremsen muss bei den scharfen Kurven.
