This is quite a popular local pass, so expect a ton of traffic. It does lead into a beautiful valley, so it's definitely worth it. There's a small cafe/restaurant at the top, just next to the bridge. There's actually an old medieval road right next to this one that used to serve as the pass, but it's very loose gravel and not suitable for road bikes.... read more

Beautiful route into the Tannheimer Valley, which is really worth seeing. A marvellous view of the Lechtal valley on the ascent! Top road, traffic OK. The Haldensee is picturesque.

Schöne Strecke ins wirklich sehenswerte Tannheimertal. Beim Aufstieg herzliche Aussicht ins Lechtal! Straße top, Verkehr OK. Der Haldensee ist malerisch.

The Gaichtpass does not exist. It is typical for a pass that it goes down from there on both sides. But that is not the case here. It is simply a point on an uphill section. The correct pass would be at the watershed a few kilometres further west.

Den Gaichtpass gibt es nicht. Typisch für einen Pass ist, das es von dort zu beiden Seiten runter geht. Aber das ist hier nicht der Fall. Es ist einfach ein Punkt an einer Steigungsstrecke. Der richtige Pass wäre an der Wasserscheide ein paar km weiter Richtung Westen.
