Even from this side, the Nockalmstraße is one of the most beautiful roads in Austria! Top-notch pavement, sharp switchbacks, and the views in the photos speak for themselves! With a maximum gradient of 12%, it’s still reasonably drivable with the right gear ratio. When driving the Nockalmstraße, however, keep in mind that there’s a vertical drop of about 500 meters between the Schiestelscharte and the Eisentalhöhe.... read more

Auch von dieser Seite ist die Nockalmstraße eine der schönsten Straßen Österreichs! Top Asphalt, scharfe Serpentine und die Ausblicke der Bilder sprechen für sich! Mit max. 12% auch noch einigermaßen Fahrbahr mit entsprechender Übersetzung. Beim befahren der Nockalmstraße sollte man aber bedenken, dass es zwischen der Schiestelscharte und der Eisentalhöhe ca. 500 m tote Höhe gibt.

You must have done this! Can't make anything else out of it. Yes it is grueling, yes it is tough, but the views make up for everything. On both sides the asphalt is super and the road very quiet, so you can descend at a good speed as well.

Dit moet je gedaan hebben! Kan er niets anders van maken. Ja het is afzien, ja het is pittig, maar de uitzichten maken alles goed. Aan beide kanten is het asfalt super en de weg erg rustig, waardoor je met een goede snelheid ook weer kan afdalen.

Very tough climb. Starts right away with 10％ then flattens out after a few km. From km 5, it's hard work going up with percentages of 8-13％. Don't forget to look around once you're out of the forest at the end. Fantastic views are there.

At the top, you can stop at the stube to catch your breath or go straight on for the climb to Eisenhohe.

Hele pittige klim. Begint gelijk met 10％ waarna hij na een paar km even afvlakt. Vanaf km 5 is het aanpoten naar boven met percentages van 8-13％. Vergeet op het laatst niet om je heen te kijken als je uit het bos bent. Fantastisch uitzicht heb je dan.

Bovenaan kun je stoppen bij de stube om op adem te komen of je gaat gelijk door voor de klim naar Eisenhohe.
