A good surface compared to the valley road, both uphill and downhill. If you want, you can divide the climb into 5 parts. The bottom 2/5 is very rhythmic. Then a brisk middle fifth and then the upper part, which is steeper at first and then has a transition section. Another short double-digit section at the top, but everything is manageable. Nice climb. Not exactly for the view, but nice for some solitary cranking.
Im Vergleich zur Talstraße ein guter Belag, sowohl Bergauf als Bergab. Wenn man will kann man den Anstieg in 5 Teile teilen. Unten 2/5 sehr rhythmisch zu fahren. Dann ein zügiges mittleres fünftel und dann der obere Teil der erst steiler ist und dann ein Übergangsstück hat. Oben nochmal kurz zweistellig aber alles gut zu machen. Schöner Anstieg. Nicht gerade für die Aussicht aber schön um einsam zu kurbeln.
