This climb goes mostly through the forest with occasional nice views of Freiburg. You don't immediately get the feeling that you're on a long climb and therefore starts off fairly easy 2-4%. After a few kilometers come the harder parts of this climb. The last kilometers are a lot better at more pleasant percentages (6-8).

Deze klim gaat vooral door het bos met af en toe een mooi uitzicht over Freiburg. Je krijgt niet direct het gevoel dat je aan een lange klim bezig bent en begint dan ook vrij rustig 2-4%. Na een paar kilometer komen de zwaardere stukken van deze klim. De laatste kilometers bollen dan weer een stuk beter aan aangenamere percentages (6-8).

4/5 of the route is in the forest, which can be a great advantage on a summer's day at 30 degrees! But it is a disadvantage for the view during the ride. The continuous ascent is great fun and it flattens out at the end. At the first parking lot, it's worth walking up the footpath (not the gondola station) and enjoying the view. From there you can see the fantastic descent into the valley.

4/5 der Strecke ist im Wald, dies kann an einem Sommertag bei 30 Grad ein grosser Vorteil sein! Aber für die Aussicht während der Fahrt halt ein Nachteil. Kontinuierliche Steigung macht richtig Spass und am Schluss wird es flacher. Am ersten Parkplatz loht es sich zu Fuss den Gehweg (nicht Gondelstation) hinaufzugehen und die Aussicht zu geniessen. Von da kann man die tolle Schussfahrt ins Tal sehen.

I cycled this climb as the last of three long climbs and I was pleased with the mild percentages! If you start fresh on this, I think you can go up really hard. The asphalt was excellent and you regularly have great views of Freiburg on your right. Absolutely recommended!

Ik fietste deze klim als laatste van drie lange beklimmingen en ik was blij met de milde percentages! Als je hier fris aan begint kun je denk ik echt flink hard omhoog. Het asfalt was uitstekend en je hebt regelmatig een prachtig uitzicht over o.a. Freiburg aan je rechterhand. Absoluut een aanrader!

Stunning steady climb! A must do for the area. The road surface was slick, the views were lovely, not too much traffic. We did it in March with snow on the top… lush!

Wider road but with us nice and quiet on Mondays. Top of restaurant, your bike can't really be in view comfortably. Nice climb.

Bredere weg maar bij ons lekker rustig op de maandag. Bovenop restaurantje, je fiets kan niet echt lekker in beeld staan. Mooie klim.

Busy climb on Friday afternoon. Spicy runner. No special views. Perfect for going all out.

Nice long climb that never gets very steep...but very strenuous because of its length...busy road but traffic passes at a good distance.

Mooie lange klim die nooit heel steil wordt..wel zeer afmattend door de lengte.. drukke weg maar het verkeer passeert op ruime afstand.

Elk jaar doen wij een lang weekendje freiburg, zo ook dit jaar. Je moet het er voor over heb 6 uurtjes rijden voor 2 dagen klimmen.
Je rijd vanuit drukke straten meteen het rustige bos tegemoet. Zodra je bij de kabelbaan links afslaat. Word het een paar kilometer serieus klimmen.
Het blijft constant redelijk steil, op een enkele vlakkere bochten na. Naar een kilometer of 6-7 vanaf de kabelbaan. Krijg je een open stuk. Dan is het nog even rechts op draaien tegen een ％ of 6x maar daarna kan je bijschakelen. En nog even flink versnellen. Tot aan de top. Want het blijft dan rond de 4％
