One of the classics in the Taunus, often combined with an approach through the beautiful Wispertal valley. It starts very steeply at the bottom, the route leads through deciduous forest and offers increasingly beautiful views the higher you get. The two hairpin bends give the climb a special flavour. At the top, the view opens up and you cycle through meadows up the last stretch to Presberg.... read more

Einer der Klassiker im Taunus, sehr gerne kombiniert mit einer Anfahrt durch das wunderschöne Wispertal. Im unteren Bereich geht es sehr steil los, die Strecke führt durch Laubwald und lässt zunehmend schöne Ausblicke genießen, je höher man kommt. Die beiden Serpentinen geben dem Anstieg eine besondere Note. Oben öffnet sich der Blick, man fährt durch Wiesen das letzte Stück nach Presberg hinauf.
