I agree with the first reviewer, the gradient is not regular and the last few hundred meters after you turn right for the last section of bends are brutal. The climb itself starting from Eptingen is steep in parts then relaxes a bit as you wind your way up and once you pass the Restaurant flattens before the rught turn brutal section. The views up and down the valley are great. Traffic is normally light.... read more

The profile does not really do justice to the irregularity of this climb. Truly a hugely tricky rascal. From the restaurant at 2/3 you can almost see the top but it still hurts oh so much before you get there. Very nice scenery, and great views from the top of the surrounding countryside.

Het profiel doet niet echt recht aan de onregelmatigheid van deze klim. Echt een enorm lastige rakker. Vanaf het restaurant op 2/3 kun je de top bijna zien liggen maar doet het nog o zo veel pijn voordat je er bent. Heel mooie omgeving, en prachtig uitzicht vanaf boven op het omliggende landschap.
