Ein absoluter Klassiker am Bodensee, auch sehr spannend um seine Zeit mal mit Worldtourprofis zu vergleichen

I did this climb at the end of July early in the morning and the traffic was very light. It has some steep sections but overall it is a lovely little climb that rewards you with a great view over Lake Constance. The road surface is only OK and worth taking extra care on the way down. Definitely a must climb if you are in the area and cycle at Lake Constance. It can easily be integrated into a larger day ride.

Nice climb , fairly tough , road surface in pretty good condition , quiet road hardly any traffic , partly in the forest (shadow) , at the top you have a beautiful view over the bodensee ! I descended via eichenberg , descent is then 11km on a slightly wider road in better condition . Highly recommended if you are in the area.

Toffe beklimming , redelijk pittig , wegdek in vrij goede staat,rustige weg amper verkeer , deels in het bos (schaduw) , boven heb je een prachtig uitzicht over de bodensee ! Ben afgedaald via eichenberg , afdaling is dan 11km op een iets bredere weg in betere staat . Kortom een aanrader als je in de buurt bent

This is a nice climb if you are cycling around Lake Constance. Take it for a while (I was up in 35 minutes) and you have beautiful views of Lake Constance, you are looking at Germany, Austria and Switzerland all at the same time. In the background the high Alps. The other side of the mountain is also beautiful. From the cable car parking, walk up to the highest point of the Pfänder (1084 m) for the best views of Lake Constance.
Oh yes, the first few km are very steep, so don't start too fast.

Dit is een leuke beklimming als je rond de Bodensee aan het fietsen bent. Neem deze even mee (ik was in 35 minuten boven) en je hebt mooie uitzichten op de Bodensee, je kijkt naar Duitsland, Oostenrijk en Zwitserland tegelijk. Op de achtergrond de hoge Alpen. Ook de andere kant van de berg is mooi. Loop vanaf de kabelbaanparkeerplaats nog even naar boven naar het hoogste punt van de Pfänder (1084 m) voor het allermooiste uitzicht op de Bodensee.
Oja, eerste paar km zijn lekker steil, dus niet te hard van start.
