First a long, false flat before it gets a little steeper in the forest. Turn left at the car park and the most difficult part of the climb follows. Generally a perfectly asphalted road with moderate traffic and beautiful scenery.... read more

First a long, false flat before it gets a little steeper in the forest. Turn left at the car park and the most difficult part of the climb follows. Generally a perfectly asphalted road with moderate traffic and beautiful scenery.

Zunächst eine lange, falsche Ebene bevor es im Wald ein wenig steiler wird. Am Parkplatz biegt man nach links ab und es folgt der schwieirgste Teil des Anstieges. Allgemein eine perfekt aspahltierte Straße mit mäßigem Verkehr und schöner Natur.

It starts slow, than the gradient increases in the second part. The segment continues with a left turn at the parking, you can also go straight and descend.

In itself just as beautiful as the climb from Schevenhütte but one star less because of the long almost flat approach. But still beautiful scenery and excellent tarmac on the through road where it gets more and more beautiful because of the many twists and turns towards the end. If - after a short flat section - you have turned left into the small asphalt road, a long straight road soon follows with a number of bumps that make it extra tiring. you ride on a ridge with wide views on both sides, but especially to the left at times.

Op zich net zo mooi als de klim vanuit Schevenhütte maar vanwege de lange vrijwel vlakke aanloop een ster minder. Maar alsnog een mooie omgeving en uitstekend asfalt op de doorgaande weg waarbij het steeds mooier wordt vanwege de vele slingers en bochten tegen het eind. Als je - na een kort vlak gedeelte - linksaf bent geslagen het kleine asfaltweggetje in volgt al snel een lange rechte weg met een aantal bulten die het extra vermoeiend maken. je rijdt op een heuvelrug met beide kanten, maar vooral naar links soms weidse uitzichten.
