Beautiful, gentle climb from Oberemmel to Pellingen. The start is flat and leads into a small forest, where the gradient becomes moderate. The tarmac is not excellent but is easy to ride on a road bike. After the forest section, you pass between the vineyards onto a ridge where the road widens. Here you are usually caught by the wind because this plateau is relatively unprotected. The gradient then becomes somewhat steeper, especially when the first wind turbines come into view.

Beautiful, gentle climb from Oberemmel to Pellingen. The start is flat and leads into a small forest, where the gradient becomes moderate. The tarmac is not excellent but is easy to ride on a road bike. After the forest section, you pass between the vineyards onto a ridge where the road widens. Here you are usually caught by the wind because this plateau is relatively unprotected. The gradient then becomes somewhat steeper, especially when the first wind turbines come into view. This last section below the wind turbines is again susceptible to the wind because it is unprotected. Unfortunately, the ascent ends at the B268 motorway, which is very busy.

Schöner, ruhiger Anstieg von Oberemmel nach Pellingen. Der Beginn ist flach und führt in einen kleinen Wald hinein, wo die Steigung moderat wird. Der Asphalt ist nicht hervorragend aber gut mit dem Rennrad zu befahren. Nach dem Waldabschnitt gelangt man zwischen den Weinbergen hindurch auf einen Höhenzug, wo die Straße breiter wird. Hier wird man in der Regel vom Wind erwischt, weil dieses Plateau relativ ungeschützt ist. Danach wird die Steigung etwas stärker, insbesondere wenn die ersten Windräder in Sicht kommen. Dieser letzte Abschnitt unter den Windrädern ist wieder Windanfällig weil ungeschützt. Leider endet der Aufstieg an der B268, einer Schnellstraße, die sehr stark befahren ist.
