This climb is a nice way to get to Königstein. Apart from a short kicker behind Fischbach, the gradient is moderate; on the right through the orchards you have a very beautiful view, including of the former Zauberberg clinic. It becomes steep in the village of Ruppertshain, then flattens out behind the village and continues through deciduous forests to the end of the climb.... read more

Dieser Anstieg ist eine schöne Variante, um nach Königstein zu gelangen. Bis auf einen kurzen Kicker hinter Fischbach ist die Steigung moderat; rechts durch die Streuobstwiesen hat man einen sehr schönen Blick, u.a. auf die ehemalige Klinik Zauberberg.
Im Ort Ruppertshain wird es steil, hinter dem Ort flacht es ab und geht durch Laubwälder zum Ende des Anstiegs.

Fischbach - Rupperthain (Kelkheim)

Nice climb that starts in Fischbach. If you come from Eppstein - fortunately the version with two p's :o) - that bit also runs slightly uphill.
The climb is quite manageable and there is moderate traffic. Low-traffic streets I have not yet come across around here. The summit is officially just past Rupperthain, but once you're through the village you've done most of the work. That last bit is just false flat.

On the way, you have a nice view of a huge building built against the mountainside. It is a former clinic but now the building is called Zauberberg and has various functions. Google it I would say. Then you will immediately see where you are cycling to.

When I rode there, there were roadworks in the village of Rupperthain, blocking the road. They then send you in and out of the village via a diversion. That dive and climb happen at percentages between 12％ and 15％. That did take me out of my rhythm for a while. But for the better climbers, I suppose that won't be a problem. The road surface on the descent is no billiard sheet but certainly above standard.

Fischbach - Rupperthain (Kelkheim)

Leuke beklimming die start in Fischbach. Als je vanuit Eppstein - gelukkig de versie met twee p's :o) - komt, loopt dat stukje ook al lichtjes bergop.
De klim is vrij goed te doen en er is middelmatig verkeer. Verkeersarme straten ben ik hier in de buurt nog niet tegengekomen. De top ligt officieel net voorbij Rupperthain, maar als je het dorp door bent heb je het meeste werk wel geleverd. Dat laatste stukje is gewoon vals plat.

Onderweg heb je een mooi zicht op een gigantisch gebouw dat tegen de bergflank is aangebouwd. Het is een voormalige kliniek maar nu heet het gebouw Zauberberg en heeft diverse functies. Google maar zou ik zeggen. Dan zie je meteen waar je naartoe fietst.

Toen ik er reed waren er in het dorp Rupperthain wegenwerken waardoor de weg geblokkeerd was. Ze sturen je dan via een omweg even het dorp in en weer uit. Die duik en klim gebeuren tegen percentages tussen de 12％ en 15％. Dat haalde mij wel even uit mijn ritme. Maar voor de betere klimmers zal dat wel geen probleem zijn neem ik aan. De wegbedekking in de afdaling is geen biljartlaken maar zeker wel boven de standaard.
