A gentle ascent from Balzers in Liechtenstein, bend by bend, crossing the military fortress. Beautiful climb, beautiful landscape!

The climb was my last effort after a ride to the Liechtenstein/Austrian border from Maienfeld. It climbs steadily without any excessive strains. At the top in the small village of Sankt Luzisteig there is a military museum and various shooting stands of the Swiss army.
