Our campsite was halfway up, just where the climb flattens out, so I had to climb this one willy-nilly. The first part involves a perfectly convex two-lane road at percentages I know in Belgium only from narrow country roads. That makes you always have to be alert for traffic behind with the accelerator pedal pressed to the max, but fortunately this is not an overly busy thoroughfare. In the Ardennes, this would be a five-star climb just for the percentages and hairpin turns, but in Austria, thi... read more

Our campsite was halfway up, just where the climb flattens out, so I had to climb this one willy-nilly. The first part involves a perfectly convex two-lane road at percentages I know in Belgium only from narrow country roads. That makes you always have to be alert for traffic behind with the accelerator pedal pressed to the max, but fortunately this is not an overly busy thoroughfare. In the Ardennes, this would be a five-star climb just for the percentages and hairpin turns, but in Austria, this is at most a solid warm-up for so many nicer and tougher challenges in the area. Those who nevertheless want to make this climb a bit more challenging, turn sharp left after kilometre 4 towards Urbar. There you will be presented with steeper percentages, but the road is a dead end. Those following the regular road will reach the top in Embach, a dumbed-down village with a handful of eateries for the hungry.

Onze camping lag halfweg, net daar waar de klim afvlakt, dus deze moest ik willens nillens op. Het eerste gedeelte betreft een perfect bollende tweevaksbaan aan percentages die ik in België alleen ken van smalle landweggetjes. Dat maakt dat je altijd alert moet zijn voor achterliggend verkeer met het gaspedaal maximaal ingedrukt, maar gelukkig is dit geen al te drukke doorgangsweg. In de Ardennen zou dit een vijfsterrenbeklimming zijn, alleen al voor de percentages en de haarspeldbochten, maar in Oostenrijk is dit hooguit een stevige opwarming voor zoveel mooiere en zwaardere uitdagingen in de omgeving. Wie deze beklimming niettemin wat uitdagender wil maken, slaat na kilometer 4 scherp linksaf richting Urbar. Daar krijg je steilere percentages voorgeschoteld, maar de weg loopt wel dood. Wie de reguliere weg volgt komt boven in Embach, een ingedommeld dorp met voor de hongerigen een handvol eetgelegenheden.
