Klimmetje over de weg tussen Merkstein en Boscheln. In het begin loopt het even op maar daarna is het tot de top vals plat.

In the beginning you have to push a bit, but otherwise you don't feel much. A bicycle lane along a dead straight and busy connecting road. At the end we have a nice view to the right, over the plateau.

In het begin een stukje aanzetten maar verder voel je hier weinig van. Een fietsstrook/fietspad langs een kaarsrechte en drukke verbindingsweg. Op het eind wel een aardig uitzicht naar rechts, over het plateau.
