Much has already been said by others. The last four km on the narrow car-free path make up for much.

Veel is al gezegd door anderen. De laatste vier km over het smalle autovrije pad maken veel goed.

Left at around 19:00 on 4 August 2025.
Also that weekend a dip in summer in the black forest so fairly chilly in the evening, but it was dry and there were fewer clouds than earlier in the day.
On the first section up to the village in the evening, little traffic and the cars'that do pass by go well past you.
First part contains one trickier stretch, touching 10％, but it is not long. Otherwise nicely even.
Second part of the village, on the cycle path, is the most interesting. There is more to see there in terms of views, although you have to pay attention, as it all does not run evenly.
The 150-metre stretch in the last km before the 16％ peak is a bit of a struggle, especially if you have the wind against you.
At the summit, I found the view truly amazing....... the snow-covered Alpine peaks in the distance.

Op 4 augustus 2025 rond 19:00 vertrokken.
Ook dat weekend een dip in de zomer in het zwarte woud dus redelijk fris in de avond, maar het was droog en er was minder bewolking dan eerder op de dag.
Op het eerste deel tot het dorpje in de avond weinig verkeer en de auto's die wel voorbij komen, gaan ruim langs je heen.
Eerste deel zit één lastiger stuk in, dat de 10％ aantikt, maar lang is het niet. Verder mooi gelijkmatig.
Tweede deel van het dorpje, op het fietspad, is het meest interessant. Daar valt er meer te zien qua uitzicht, al moet je wel opletten, want het loopt allemaal niet gelijkmatig.
Het 150 meter stuk in de laatste km voor de top met de piek van 16％ is even doorbijten, zeker als je de wind tegen hebt.
Op de top vond ik het uitzicht werkelijk geweldig....... de besneeuwde Alpentoppen in de verte.

Very nice climb that initially follows the rather busy B500. In time, you come to a sort of ski centre with a shop and catering facilities. This is followed by a difficult path accessible only to hikers and cyclists. The road is top quality and this is also where the steepest section of around 17％ is located. This does not take too long. At the top, you have a perfect view of the Black Forest and can congratulate yourself on reaching the highest peak in this low mountain range in southern Germany.

Afterwards, I would have a drink at the catering establishment below the summit. The descent I would take further west. Although this is the B-road, you can really descend hard here. Really a lovely climb, all in all!

Erg mooie klim die aanvankelijk de tamelijk drukke B500 volgt. Op den duur kom je bij een soort skicentrum met een winkel en horeca. Daarna volgt een moeilijk pad dat alleen toegankelijk is voor wandelaars en fietsers. De weg is van topkwaliteit en hier zit ook het steilste stukje van rond de 17％. Dit duurt niet al te lang. Bovenop heb je een perfect uitzicht over het Zwarte Woud en kun je jezelf feliciteren met het behalen van de hoogste piek in dit middelgebergte in het zuiden van Duitsland.

Naderhand zou ik even wat gaan drinken bij de horeca onder de top. De afdaling zou ik verder westwaarts nemen. Dit is weliswaar de B-weg maar je kan echt heerlijk hard dalen alhier. Echt een heerlijke klim, alles bij elkaar!

Nice gradual climb with at the end 3 km cycle path with treacherously steep parts. There it is car-free, but until km 5 a fairly busy through road. Nice views at the top over the whole Black Forest. Be sure to go past the lift to the real summit.

Mooie geleidelijke klim met aan het eind 3km fietspad met verraderlijk steile stukken. Daar is het autovrij, maar tot km 5 een vrij drukke doorgaande weg. Mooie uitzichten op de top over het hele zwarte woud. Ga zeker voorbij de lift tot de echte top.
