A beautiful climb through the vineyards. The Ockfener Bockstein is well known as a wine-growing region. The climb begins in Ockfen, a beautiful village on the Saar. The ascent remains moderate and fairly even. No really steep sections. The serpentines make for a very pleasant ride with excellent views of the Saar.

A beautiful climb through the vineyards. The Ockfener Bockstein is well known as a wine-growing region. The climb begins in Ockfen, a beautiful village on the Saar. The ascent remains moderate and fairly even. No really steep sections. The serpentines make for a very pleasant ride with excellent views of the Saar. The surface is tarmac, but the rough asphalt is brittle, as is usual on Wingertswege. Watch out for water drainage channels before the bends! Unfortunately, the ascent (at least on a racing bike) practically ends in a dead end.

Ein schöner Anstieg in den Weinbergen. Der ockfener Bockstein ist als Weinanbaugebiet sehr bekannt. Der Anstieg beginnt in Ockfen, einem schönen Dorf an der Saar. Der Anstieg bleibt moderat und einigermaßen gleichmäßig. Keine wirklich steilen Passagen. Durch die Serpentinen sehr schön zu fahren mit hervorragendem Blick auf die Saar. Der Untergrund ist asphaltiert, allerdings brüchiger rauer Asphalt wie bei Wingertswegen üblich. Achtung wegen Wasserablaufrinnen vor den Kurven ! Leider endet der Aufstieg (zumindest mit dem Rennrad) praktisch in einer Sackgasse.
