This climb is immediately steep. In the first 150m the gradient is never below 20%. The road in this part is very narrow. There are patches with new tarmac, the rest is older but still fine. The last part of the climb is not easy, but feels good after the steep part. At the top you have a nice view of the city.... read more

First part is horrible. Difficult to sit down as your bike lifts, so easier to stand up the entire way.
Also be prepared when turning into it as there's no time to shift down when you're on it

This is a very steep climb. It's actually the steepest street in Denmark with a max gradient of 25%. When you turn onto it, it's down in the small gears instantly. You need to push all out just to make it to the top. When you reach Gl. Kongevej, you think it's over, because there is a tiny bit of flat, but there is still 200 meters left of climbing. Luckily it isn't as steep as the first part. When at the top, you can look back over the city and take a selfie with the sign at the top.
