Difficult to rate as the tarmac is unsuitable for a descent and the road is a dead end. Nevertheless, it is very appealing from a climbing point of view, as it remains quite steep over a fairly long stretch. At the end of the road, you can climb an additional 20 metres in altitude, which makes the ascent even more difficult.... read more

Schwierig zu bewerten, da der Aspahlt für einen Abstieg ungeeignet ist und die Straße eine Sackgasse ist. Klettertechnisch dennoch sehr reizvoll, da es über einen ziemlich langen Zeitraum, ziemlich steil bleibt. Am Ende der Straße kann man zusätzliche 20 Höhenmeter machen, was den Anstieg zusätzlich schwierig macht.

Climb where eventually the asphalt dead-ends at a barrier (just past the Sportplatz). After a gentle start, it gets really steep very quickly and the poor tarmac does not want to help. You really have to get going here. The steep slope continues up to the houses on the right. There it quickly decreases but with the altimeters in your legs you will feel the rest of the slope. At the junction after the houses keep right towards Sportplatz. Here the asphalt gets a lot better and there is a scenic stretch to the barrier. 3 stars because of the steep slope but bear in mind that it is precisely in the steep part that the road surface offers an extra challenge.

Klim waarbij uiteindelijk het asfalt doodloopt bij een slagboom (net voorbij de Sportplatz). Na een rustig begin wordt het al heel snel echt steil en het slechte asfalt wil dan ook niet meehelpen. Hier moet je echt wel aan de bak. De steile helling loopt door tot aan de huizen rechts. Daar neemt het al snel af maar met de hoogtemeters in de benen ga je de rest van de helling ook wel voelen. Op de splitsing na de huizen rechts aanhouden richting Sportplatz. Hier wordt het asfalt een stuk beter en volgt nog een landschappelijk mooi stuk tot de slagboom. Wel 3 sterren vanwege de steile helling maar hou wel rekening met het feit dat juist in het steile deel het wegdek een extra uitdaging biedt.
