An interesting serpentine road in the forest. For someone who has already ridden a few climbs in the region, this is not really a challenge. The steep section at the beginning is too short for that. From the very first hairpin bend, the gradient is much more moderate again. I didn't notice the second wave as such, but it makes the climb feel quite long at the end.... read more

Eine interessante im Wald gelegene Serpetinenstraße. Für jemanden, der schon einige Anstiege in der Region gefahren ist, ist dies eigentlich keine Herausforderung. Dafür ist das Steilstück zu Beginn zu kurz. Bereits ab der ersten Kehre nämlich ist die Steigung wieder deutlich moderater. Die zweite Welle habe ich nicht so sehr als solche bemerkt, aber sie führt dazu, dass sich der Anstieg hinten raus recht langgezogen anfühlt.
