Very nice climb with quite some height meters and decent percentages. The first part is through a residential area after which you ride up to an earthen wall (a dam) where you turn right and where you enter the green. You ride along the lake up and past a restaurant (Haus am See) with terrace. The road climbs further and further up along an old farm. After the barrier you turn sharp left into Revierweg.

Very nice climb with quite some height meters and decent percentages. The first part is through a residential area after which you ride up to an earthen wall (a dam) where you turn right and where you enter the green. You ride along the lake up and past a restaurant (Haus am See) with terrace. The road climbs further and further up along an old farm. After the barrier you turn sharp left into Revierweg. Via a beautiful route with another nice hairpin bend and sometimes steep percentages you reach the hide Siebenwege. Here more or less straight on upwards, one last slope to the left (with a bench) where the end point is.
The whole route is on good asphalt (sometimes with loose stones) except for the piece at the barrier. The maps indicate that there is a piece of unpaved road near the Siebenwege. That is not the case.

Heel fraaie klim met flink wat hoogtemeters en behoorlijke percentages. Het eerste deel is door een woonwijk waarna je tegen een aarden wal (een stuwdam) aan rijdt waar je rechtsaf gaat en waar je het groen in gaat. Je rijdt langs het stuwmeertje omhoog en langs een restaurant (Haus am See) met terras. De weg klimt steeds verder omhoog, langs een oude boerderij. Na de slagboom ga je scherp links de Revierweg in. Via een fraaie route met nog een mooie haarspeldbocht en met soms flinke percentages komt je bij de schuilhut Siebenwege. Hier min-of-meer rechtdoor naar boven, nog een laatste helling tot de bocht naar links (met bankje) waar het eindpunt is.
De hele route is met goed asfalt (wel soms met losse steentjes) op het stukje bij de slagboom na. De kaarten geven aan dat bij de Siebenwege een stukje onverhard is. Da’s niet het geval.
