I cycled up the not so well known Passo Pennes/Penser Joch from Riobianco/Weissenbach, so only the last part of 13 km.
The climb continues its calm approach of the first part through sunny alpine meadows and small villages.
After Pennes/Pens, namesake of the pass and the last village, the somewhat steeper climbing starts continuously until the lonely mountain hut Alpenrose on the pass height (supply) with splendid views along the way. Long, straight climbing roads, which give you the impression of not moving forward, with sporadic hairpin bends, bring you in a kind of triangle route to the summit, which you can already see from far away.
There are no signs for cyclists but the kilometer poles count up to the top (top=50km) so you can still estimate your progress. The route is the shortest connection between Bolzano and Vipiteno but because everyone prefers the faster highway there is little or no traffic.
Easy side but also worth the bike through the mighty scenery without traffic!
Fietste de niet zo bekende Passo Pennes/Penser Joch op vanaf Riobianco/Weissenbach, dus enkel de pittige slothelft van 13 km.
De klim zet daar zijn rustige aanloop van het eerste deel verder door zonnige alpenweiden en kleine dorpjes.
Na Pennes/Pens, naamgever aan de pas en het laatste dorpje, start het iets steviger klimwerk onafgebroken tot de eenzame berghut Alpenrose op de pashoogte (bevoorrading) met schitterende vergezichten onderweg. Lange vrij rechte klimmende wegen,die je de indruk geven niet vooruit te komen,met sporadisch een haarspeldbocht, brengen je in een soort driehoeksrouteverloop naar de top die je van vrij ver al kan zien.
Er zij geen fietsinfobordjes maar de kilometerpalen tellen op naar de top (top=50km) zodat je toch enig zins je vorderingen kan inschatten. Route is de kortste verbinding tussen Bolzano en Vipiteno doch omdat iedereen uiteraard de snellere autostrade verkiest is er weinig tot geen verkeer.
Gemakkelijke zijde doch zeker ook de fiets moeite waard door het machtig decor zonder verkeer!!!
