Heavy climb with a long steep section. For those who like that steep, they can start at the bottom of the village via 'am schlossberg' (on google the road is called 'Auf dem gret') to add some extra steep metres. Only when you come out of the trees the first time does it get a bit easier, and the same seems to be true for the times after that when you come out of a bush.

A hidden gem. 1 of the tougher climbs in the 3-country point region. The climb starts very steep in the village but then flattens out to a plateau.

Een verborgen pareltje. 1 van de zwaardere klimmen in de regio van het 3-landen punt. De klim begint zeer steil in het dorp maar vlakt dan uit tot een plateau.

Heavy climb with a long steep section. For those who like that steep, they can start at the bottom of the village via 'am schlossberg' (on google the road is called 'Auf dem gret') to add some extra steep metres. Only when you come out of the trees the first time does it get a bit easier, and the same seems to be true for the times after that when you come out of a bush. At the end, it continues to go up false flat for a long time and at the windmill you are only really at the top. There is also a bench here under the trees to take a breather if necessary.

The scenery is fine, but at the top it is a kind of plateau so the views are less beautiful than on other climbs in the region (but then the bar is high here).

Road surface is good and there is very little traffic.

Zware klim met een lang steile stuk. Voor degene die van dat steile houden, die kunnen onderaan in het dorp beginnen via ‘am schlossberg’ (op google heet de weg ‘Auf dem gret’) om er nog wat extra steile meters bij te pakken. Pas als je de eerste keer uit de bomen komt wordt het wat makkelijker, en dat lijkt ook te gelden voor de keren daarna als je uit een bosje komt. Aan het eind blijft het nog lang vals plat omhoog lopen en bij de windmolen ben je pas echt boven. Hier staat ook een bankje onder de bomen om even uit te puffen als dit nodig mocht zijn.

De omgeving is prima, maar boven is het een soort van plateau waardoor het uitzicht minder mooi is dan bij andere beklimmingen in de regio (maar de lat ligt hier dan ook hoog).

Wegdek is goed en er is maar weinig verkeer.
