Did this climb at the beginning of April. As it is a through-road, there is a lot of traffic. The beginning and middle part are not special, the last part is worthwhile. I descended to Wald im Pinzgau to climb on the other side, which is certainly the most beautiful and quiet part.... read more

Did this climb at the beginning of April. As it is a through-road, there is a lot of traffic. The beginning and middle part are not special, the last part is worthwhile. I descended to Wald im Pinzgau to climb on the other side, which is certainly the most beautiful and quiet part.

Begin april deze klim gedaan. Gezien het een doorgaande weg is, toch vrij veel verkeer. Het begin en middenstuk zijn niet bijzonder, het laatste deel is wel de moeite. Ik daalde nog af tot Wald im Pinzgau om ook langs de andere kant te klimmen, dat is zeker het mooiste en rustigste deel.

Especially the first part is quite busy, especially in the weekends. This is also the best part with hairpin turns and views towards the Zillertal, the climb is not too steep. The fairly long middle section to Gerlos can be quite daunting with a headwind, after Gerlos there is a final climb towards Konigsleiten. Here you can enjoy the peace and nature.

Vooral het eerste stuk is vrij druk, vooral in de weekenden. Dit is ook het mooiste stuk met haarspeldbochten en vergezichten richting het Zillertal, de klim is niet al te stijl. Het vrij lange middenstuk naar Gerlos kan met tegenwind toch wel slopen, na Gerlos nog een laatste klim richting Konigsleiten. Hier is het genieten van de rust en natuur.
