Another climb you have to look for to be able to ride. In a nondescript valley it starts between the houses and soon climbs up through a beech forest along a stream. The beginning is ok, but from the first hairpin it is ball. Double digit climbing to get back to normal shortly before leaving the forest. The road flattens out a bit at the hamlet of Kreinberg, and then it erupts in all its intensity. If your legs are already a bit tired, then it's going to be a struggle from here on until you... read more

Conquer the Kreinberger Wand once in your life. Admittedly, this climb is not as legendary as many others in the Ardennes and there may be better-known climbs in the Sauerland itself. And yet it has something unique about it. Not only is there a 500 metre long section with a gradient of just under 16-20％, but there are also some challenging waves on the 2 km long section beforehand, which provide a suitable warm-up programme. After the first kilometre, you leave the forest and are treated to a panoramic view of the hills. At the end of this open section, you pass two farms before things get serious. The tarmac is superb and the course is suitable for racing bikes, which is not necessarily the rule on such climbs.

You come out just before Wiblingwerde on the L692. However, I would recommend taking the section up to "Lohagen" through the centre of Wiblingwerde. There are two more waves around 10％ and the section gives the climb a completely different flavour that would otherwise be missing.

Einmal im Leben die Kreinberger Wand bezwingen. Zugegeben, dieser Anstieg besitzt keinen Mythos wie viele andere in den Ardennen und auch im Sauerland selbst mag es bekanntere Anstiege geben. Und doch besitzt er etwas einzigartiges. Nicht nur gilt es ein etwa 500 Meter langes Steilstück mit knapp 16-20％ zu passieren, auch auf dem 2km langen Abschnitt zuvor finden sich einige spaßige wie anspruchsvolle Wellen, die ein passendes Aufwärmprogramm darstellen. Nach dem ersten Kilometer geht es aus dem Wald heraus und man bekommt ein Hügelpanorama zu sehen. Am Ende dieses offenen Abschnitts passiert man einen kleinen Weiler, bevor es dann ernst wird. Der Asphalt ist super, der Kurs rennradgeeignet, was ja bei solchen Steigungen auch nicht zwingend die Regel ist. Die diversen Kehren erlauben unterschiedliche Rennlinien, je nachdem wie stark man sich fühlt.

Man kommt dann kurz vor Wiblingwerde an der L692 heraus. Ich würde jedoch empfehlen den Abschnitt bis zum "Lohagen" mitten durch Wiblingwerde noch mit zu nehmen. Dort warten zwei weitere Wellen um die 10％ und der Abschnitt gibt dem Anstieg auch nochmal eine ganz andere Note, die sonst fehlen würde.

Always challenging! You have to concentrate and not get off at 20+ for most of the route... still very nice! We'll be back...

Immer wieder herausfordernd! Bei 20+ grossenteils der Strecke muss man sich konzentrieren und nicht abzusteigen… trotzdem sehr schön! Wir kommen wieder…

Weer een klim die je moet zoeken om te kunnen rijden. In een onopvallend dal begint deze tussen de huizen om al gauw door een beukenbos langs een beek omhoog te klimmen. Het begin is ok, maar vanaf de eerste haarspeldbocht is het bal. Klimmen met dubbele cijfers om kort voordat je het bos verlaat weer enigszins normaal te worden. Het vlakt wat af bij het gehucht Kreinberg, om daarna in alle hevigheid los te barsten. Zijn je benen al wat moe, dan wordt het vanaf hier worstelen totdat je boven komt. Bovenaan gekomen kun je weer genieten en komt de voldoening weer tevoorschijn.
