Don't make a mistake at the start of the climb: after 500m in the village, turn right onto Rüstenbachstrasse (and not right onto Pfarrberg, as the road soon stops and continues along an impassable path). The road is very quiet and in very good condition. The route takes you through very pleasant countryside. The slopes are steep, but there are some gentler sections that allow you to recover. As a result, the climb is less difficult than via Unterwasser to the north.... read more

Ne pas se tromper au début de la montée : après 500m dans le village, il faut prendre à droite sur Rüstenbachstrasse (et non à droite sur Pfarrberg, car très vite la route s'arrête et continue par un sentier impraticable).
La route est très calme et en très bon état. Le parcours se déroule dans un cadre bucolique très agréable. Les pentes sont raides, mais il y a des sections plus douces, qui permettent de récupérer. De ce fait, la montée est moins difficile que par Unterwasser au nord.

The climb is very tiring due to the gradient. The road is very narrow and full of gravel, which is very dangerous for the descent and means the wheel has to be repaired for the ascent. The scenery is mixed, so I wouldn't necessarily recommend it.

La montée est très fatiguante dû à la pente. La route est très étroite et rempli de gravillon, ce qui est très dangereux pour la descente et fait réparer la roue pour la montée. Le paysage est mitigé, je ne conseil pas forcément
