Wonderful climb away from traffic and cars. Just a little traffic from local farmers and that's it. Quite challenging on the first 4km with some passages >15％, but they go by well. The view on top makes up for it anyway... read more

Wunderbarer Anstieg weg von Verkehr und Autos. Eigentlich nur ein wenig Verkehr der lokalen Bauern und das wars. Recht anspruchsvoll auf den ersten 4km mit einigen Passagen >15％, aber die gehen gut vorbei. Die Aussicht on top entschädigt sowieso

The first few hundred metres after the turn-off from Steinberg are pretty steep and you wonder what you have let yourself in for but then the gradient decreases and the road weaves up past farms and then forest with great views down to the Lauerzsee and the alps beyond. The last two hundred metres to the top are the steepest and a bit of a shock!
There's a restaurant too at the top.
I've done this little climb a few times now so it's not all bad. Cars are not allowed up the last third or so apart from access so that's nice too.
