A terrible climb, a cycling buddy of mine broke his knee so bad that he is still complaining about it two years later. On Sundays the restaurant is very popular with the locals so very busy.

Een ontzettende rotklim, een fietsmaat van me heeft zijn knie er zodanig op kapotgereden dat hij er twee jaar na dato nog steeds over klaagt. Op zondagen is het restaurant trouwens erg populair bij locals dus heel druk.

Obergrenchenberg is a challenging ascent. For this type of climbing, we recommend mountain gearing, specifically a compact system. This means a small front chainring of 34 teeth, combined with a rear cassette where, depending on your level, strength, and experience, you choose a sprocket with 30, 32, or even 34 teeth. Remember that a smooth cadence is always more efficient!
