A beautiful and quite hidden climb from Sihltal to Zimmerberg. The first part through the shady forest with an average gradient of 8-9％ is nice and cool, even in midsummer. After a small wave with a nice bench for a break with a view, the short descent turns right to the "Saucheib" - a short but very steep climb that gets steeper from metre to metre and reaches over 18％ at the end.

A beautiful and quite hidden climb from Sihltal to Zimmerberg. The first part through the shady forest with an average gradient of 8-9％ is nice and cool, even in midsummer. After a small wave with a nice bench for a break with a view, the short descent turns right to the "Saucheib" - a short but very steep climb that gets steeper from metre to metre and reaches over 18％ at the end. The final ascent is a real ordeal, but it can also be easily avoided by following the road instead of turning right and taking the next junction to the right.

Ein schöner und recht versteckter Anstieg vom Sihltal zum Zimmerberg. Der ersten Teil durch den schattigen Wald mit durchschnittlich 8-9％ Steigung ist auch im Hochsommer schön kühl. Nach einer kleineren Welle mit einem schönen Pausenbänkchen mit Ausblick geht es nach der kurzen Abfahrt rechts ab zum "Saucheib" - einem kurzen aber sehr steilen Anstieg, der von Meter zu Meter steiler wird und am Ende über 18％ erreicht. Der Schlussanstieg ist eine echte Quälerei, die sich aber auch gut umfahren lässt, indem man statt rechts abzubiegen der Strasse folgt und den nächsten Abzweiger nach rechts nimmt.
