To put it bluntly. The average gradient of a climb does not always say everything. As the profile shows, the climb is very irregular, making it difficult to find your rhythm. The climb itself is beautiful with nice views, but everything is spoiled by the very busy traffic and the bad road surface. This is a constant in this region.

To put it bluntly. The average gradient of a climb does not always say everything. As the profile shows, the climb is very irregular, making it difficult to find your rhythm. The climb itself is beautiful with nice views, but everything is spoiled by the very busy traffic and the bad road surface. This is a constant in this region. It is now the second time that I have been to Salzburgerland and for the second time, I do not feel safe as a cyclist here. When you get to the top, do make a diversion to Finkau. Magnificent views of the lake and the glaciers.

Om even een open deur in te trappen. Het gemiddelde stijgingspercentage van een klim zegt niet altijd alles. Zoals het profiel toont is de klim zeer onregelmatig waardoor je moeilijk je ritme vindt. De klim op zich is wel mooi met mooie uitzichten, maar alles wordt verpest door het zeer drukke verkeer en het slechte wegdek. Dit is wel een constante in deze regio. Het is nu de tweede keer dat ik in het Salzburgerland kom en voor de tweede keer voel ik mij hier niet veilig als fietser. Als je boven bent, maak dan wel even de omweg naar Finkau. Schitterend uitzicht op het meer en de gletschers.
