Beautiful climb. More beautiful and certainly much quieter than from Adenau. Only the last part is steep. Where the segment of Climbfinder ends, it only begins to get steeper. The last hairpin requires a lot of steering and then it will be a walk for almost everyone. That's only about 50m to the watchtower. The watchtower is always open and gives a beautiful view over the surroundings. Nice variant: From the village Acht to Siebenbach and there you pick up the route to the Hohe Acht.... read more

Prachtige klim. Mooier en zeker veel rustiger dan vanuit Adenau.
Alleen het laatste stukje is stijl.
Waar het segment van Climbfinder ophoudt begint het pas stijler te worden. Het laatste haarspeldbochtje vergt veel stuurmanskunst en daarna zal het voor nagenoeg iedereen lopen worden. Dat is dan nog maar ongeveer 50m tot de uitkijktoren. Uitkijktoren is altijd open en geeft een prachtig zicht rondom over de omgeving.
Mooie variant: Van het plaatsje Acht naar Siebenbach en daar pak je dan de route naar de Hohe Acht op.
