A lovely climb up a very green valley, mostly wooded, but with good views of the immediate surroundings. The road is a little degraded in its lower part (about 1.5km), but in very good condition thereafter. The gradients are sustained at around 7-8％, but never very steep. The pass is in the forest but offers a partial view to the south-east. There is an inn at the pass. Nearby: Geroldsau has a drinking water fountain (200m south of the church).... read more

A lovely climb up a very green valley, mostly wooded, but with good views of the immediate surroundings.
The road is a little degraded in its lower part (about 1.5km), but in very good condition thereafter.
The gradients are sustained at around 7-8％, but never very steep.

Jolie montée dans un vallon très vert, la plupart du temps en forêt, mais offrant de belles vues sur les alentours immédiats.
La route est un peu dégradée dans sa partie basse (environ 1.5km), mais en très bon état ensuite.
Les pentes sont soutenues autour de 7-8％, mais jamais très raides.
Le col est en forêt mais offre une vue partielle le sud-est. Une auberge se trouve au col.
A noter à proximité : à Geroldsau se trouve une fontaine d'eau potable (à 200m au sud de l'église).

Lovely climb. It takes some searching to get through Baden-Baden easily, but as soon as you leave the city it is nice cycling again. The real climbing actually starts from the Gernsbach exit, then an easy bit and then some'5km of real climbing. Very stable percentages, the second part is 8％ on average, but also hardly ever gets above 10. Nice quiet road through a beautiful valley. Really recommended in this part of the black forest.

Heerlijke klim. Het is even zoeken om makkelijk Baden-Baden door te komen, maar zodra je de stad uit bent is het weer lekker fietsen. Het echte klimmen begint eigenlijk vanaf de afslag Gernsbach, dan nog even een makkelijk stukje en daarna zo'n 5km echt klimmen. Hele stabiele percentages, het tweede deel is gemiddeld 8％, maar komt ook bijna nergens boven de 10 uit. Mooie rustige weg door een prachtig dal. Echt wel een van de aanraders in dit deel van het zwarte woud.
