This climb was still a surprise in our route to our holiday home on top of the mountain after 160km. If you turn into the little road in Gemünd you already know what time 't is. Because you immediately face 'n a wall after 'n a few hefty pedal strokes you already look out over 't village and you leave the built-up area, after which 't momentarily gets even steeper than 't was in 't the beginning.

This climb was still a surprise in our route to our holiday home on top of the mountain after 160km.
If you turn into the little road in Gemünd you already know what time 't is. Because you immediately face 'n a wall after 'n a few hefty pedal strokes you already look out over 't village and you leave the built-up area, after which 't momentarily gets even steeper than 't was in 't the beginning.
When we cycled up here 't was already getting dark 't so we could see the lights of 't village in 't valley.
After 'n hefty climb on 'n narrow country road you enter t forest, and for the last few hundred metres the road turns into n gravel/sand road with hefty stones, not ideal for the road bike but our final destination was at the top of the mountain.
All in all a memorable and tough climb, but since you basically better turn around before you reach the real summit because otherwise you 'd have to climb a dirt road or descend over 'n other dirt road, I would'm only included in your route if you necessarily want to make altimeters or have hunting lodge Wackerberg as your final destination.
The descent (on 't paved part at least) 'n a few days later was beautiful though, with a nice view over the village.

Deze klim zat na 160km nog als verrassing in onze route naar ons vakantiehuis boven op de berg.
Als je in Gemünd het weggetje in draait weet je al meteen hoe laat 't is. Want je kijkt meteen tegen 'n muur aan na 'n paar flinke pedaalslagen kijk je al over 't dorp uit en verlaat je de bebouwing, waarna 't even nog steiler word dan 't in 't begin al was.
Toen wij hier omhoog fietsten was 't al donker aan 't worden, dus zagen we de lichtjes van 't dorp in 't dal.
Na 'n flinke klim over 'n smal landweggetje ga je t bos in, en veranderd de weg voor de laatste paar honderd meter in n gravel/zandweg met flinke stenen, niet ideaal voor de racefiets maar onze eindbestemming lag boven op de berg.
Al met al een memorabele en pittige klim, maar aangezien je in principe voor je op de echte top bent al beter om kunt draaien omdat je anders 'n zandweg moet beklimmen of af moet dalen over 'n andere zandweg, zou ik'm alleen in je route opnemen als je per se hoogtemeters wilt maken of jachthuis Wackerberg als eindbestemming hebt.
De afdaling (op 't verharde gedeelte in ieder geval) 'n paar dagen later was wel prachtig, met een mooi uitzicht over het dorp.
