I descended this climb in August 2023. So allow me to comment on the statement I found above: "This climb is partly on gravel paths, but can be done on a road bike". This route is totally unsuitable for a road bike. The surface is very coarse gravel, not partially, but completely, with many passages with very large stones. It was a real challenge downhill on my gravel bike with 37 mm tyres. I wouldn't dare go up on the same bike, especially not on a road bike with 25 mm tyres.... read more

Ich bin diesen Climb im August 2023 heruntergefahren. Deshalb erlaube ich mir einen Kommentar zu dem Statement, was ich oben fand: "Dieser Anstieg führt teilweise über Kieswege, kann aber mit einem Rennrad zurückgelegt werden", abzugeben. Diese Strecke ist für ein Rennrad total ungeeignet. Der Belag ist sehr grober Schotter, und zwar nicht teilweise, sondern komplett, mit vielen Passagen mit sehr großen Steinen. Herunter war es mit meinem Gravelbike mit 37er-Reifen eine echte Herausforderung. Herauf würde ich es mit demselben Rad nicht wagen, erst recht nicht mit einem Rennrad mit 25er-Reifen.
