Austria has many valleys and also many mountains, I think 45％ of the country is mountains so you have to climb regularly to get somewhere. Don't forget that cutting corners in the mountains means that it can get steep along the way. This also applies to this climb, from the mundane Velden am Wortersee you can "cross" to Ossiach, over the highway over 25 kilometers and now only a little more than 14!

Austria has many valleys and also many mountains, I think 45％ of the country is mountains so you have to climb regularly to get somewhere. Don't forget that cutting corners in the mountains means that it can get steep along the way. This also applies to this climb, from the mundane Velden am Wortersee you can "cross" to Ossiach, over the highway over 25 kilometers and now only a little more than 14!
From the town you can cycle through the houses on a narrow street, the climb is a little longer but you must first get to Kranzlhofen. It remains steep and if you Unterwurzen by it goes downhill for a while, turn along the river and up again. The view is magnificent and you cycle in an open area. In the summer it is very hot here in the afternoon so leave on time.
Above a great view and the descent has two gravel strips as a surprise....

Oostenrijk kent vele dalen en evenzo vele bergen, ik meen dat 45％ van het land uit bergen bestaat dus je moet regelmatig omhoog om ergens te komen. Vergeet niet dat afsnijden in de bergen betekent dat het steil kan worden onderweg. Dit geldt ook voor deze klim, vanuit het mondaine Velden am Wortersee kun je zo "oversteken" naar Ossiach, over de snelweg ruim 25 kilometer en nu maar iets meer dan 14!!
Vanuit het stadje kun je door de huizen over een smal straatje meteen op de pedalen, de klim is zo iets langer maar ja je moet toch eerst in Kranzlhofen komen. Het blijft steil en als je Unterwurzen door bent gaat het even bergaf, bochtje langs de rivier en weer door omhoog. Het uitzicht is riant en je fietst in een open gebied. In de zomer is het hier heel warm in de middag dus ga op tijd weg.
Boven een riant uitzicht en de afdaling heeft twee gravelstroken als verrassing....
