Startet am Ruhrsee und ist ein schöner Anstieg mit knackigen Passagen und nicht zu lang, so dass es in eine Abendrunde gut eingebaut werden kann.

One of the most difficult climbs in the region. The first part is a very steep ascent on a small local road. This is followed by a short, flatter section where you leave the village and can see a forest with a very difficult section in the distance. This is followed by the very difficult section, with constantly changing percentages between 8 and 19 per cent. The climb ends at a bend or at the end of the forest.
Not the most beautiful ascent in terms of scenery, but very appealing due to the difficulty.

Einer der schwierigsten Anstiege der Region. Zunächst geht es auf einer kleinen Ortsstraße schon sehr steil nach oben. Anschließend folgt eine kurze flachere Passage in der man aus dem Ort rausfährt und in der Ferne einen Wald mit einem sehr schwierigen Teil erkennen kann. Anschließend folgt der sehr schwierige Teil, es gibt ständig wechselnde Prozentsätze zwischen 8 und 19 Prozent. Der Anstieg endet an einer Kurve bzw. Am Ende des Waldes.
Landschaftlich nicht der schönste Anstieg aber auf Grund der Schwierigkeit sehr reizbar.
