One of my favourite climbs from the Rheingau to the Taunus. Comparatively little traffic and a good road surface. Apart from two ramps, the gradient is moderate. The road mostly leads through meadows, which is perhaps not ideal on hot days as there is hardly any shade. But you have a great view. The undulations at the top are deceptive and take a lot of energy!... read more

One of my favourite climbs from the Rheingau to the Taunus. Comparatively little traffic and a good road surface. Apart from two ramps, the gradient is moderate.

Einer meiner bevorzugten Aufstiege vom Rheingau in den Taunus. Vergleichsweise wenig Verkehr und guter Straßenbelag. Bis auf zwei Rampen ist die Steigung moderat. Die Straße führt zumeist durch Wiesen, deswegen an heißen Tagen vielleicht nicht optimal, da es kaum Schatten gibt. Dafür hat man einen tollen Ausblick. Die Wellen im oberen sind trügerisch und kosten Körner!
