The road is wide, the tarmac is good and it is less crowded than you would expect (there are trucks, cars and motorbikes on this road), at no point did I feel unsafe. I would avoid the climb during rush hours, though, as I expect it to be busier then. The climb itself is best in the middle section, where it is a bit steeper but also only hairpin bends are present.

The road is wide, the tarmac is good and it is less crowded than you would expect (there are trucks, cars and motorbikes on this road), at no point did I feel unsafe. I would avoid the climb during rush hours, though, as I expect it to be busier then. The climb itself is best in the middle section, where it is a bit steeper but also only hairpin bends are present. The first and last sections are flatter and more straightforward. In the first (and busiest) part up to Bad Griesbach there is a cycle path on the right, this is more pleasant cycling and also eventually brings you the same altimeters as the main road.

De weg is breed, het asfalt is goed en het is minder druk dan je zou verwachten (er rijden vrachtwagens, personenwagens en motors op deze weg), ik heb me op geen enkel moment onveilig gevoeld. Ik zou de klim wel mijden tijdens de spitsuren, omdat ik verwacht dat het dan wel drukker is. De klim zelf is het mooist in het middendeel, waar het wat steiler is maar ook enkel haarspelbochten aanwezig zijn. Het eerste en laatste stuk zijn vlakker en meer rechtaan. In het eerste (en drukste) deel tot Bad Griesbach ligt er rechts een fietspad, dit is aangenamer fietsen en brengt je uiteindelijk ook dezelfde hoogtemeters als de hoofdweg.
