A wonderful and crisp climb with a fantastic panorama of Lake Zug and the Rigi! The ascent has a few short ramps with gradients well over 10％ but is still easy to ride and very varied. The very steep slope above Zug and the lake always offers great views and plenty of variety. ... read more

A wonderful and crisp climb with a fantastic panorama of Lake Zug and the Rigi!
The ascent has a few short ramps with gradients well over 10％ but is still easy to ride and very varied. The very steep slope above Zug and the lake always offers great views and plenty of variety.

Ein wundervoller und knackiger Anstieg mit einem fantastischen Panorama auf den Zugersee und die Rigi!
Der Aufstieg hat einige kurze Rampen mit deutlich über 10％ ist aber trotzdem gut fahrbar und sehr abwechslungsreich. Der sehr steile Hang oberhalb von Zug und dem See bietet immer wieder tolle Ausblicke und viel Abwechslung.

I had completely ignored the fact that there is a sector with a 19％ gradient after just under 700 metres and briefly thought my sat nav was suggesting a shortcut here, but the ramp is definitely meant to be ridden like this. Getting off the bike automatically means you have to push first. But once you've made it through the sector and given yourself some time to calm your heart rate, you can get back on track. Incidentally, you can go even higher than shown here by taking the wave slightly to the left, which then has another double-digit percentage. All in all 'a cool route to really work off your energy!

Ich hatte total ignoriert, dass es nach knapp 700 Metern einen Sektor mit 19％-Steigung gibt und dachte kurz mein Navi schlägt mir hier eine Abkürzung vor, aber die Rampe soll definitiv so befahren werden. Absteigen führt automatisch dazu, dass man erstmal schieben muss. Aber wenn man den Sektor überstanden hat und sich etwas Zeit gibt den Puls zu beruhigen, kann man sich auch wieder fangen. Man kann übrigens noch weiter hoch als hier dargestellt, indem man anschließend die Welle leicht links nimmt, die dann nochmal zweistellige Prozente aufweist. Insgesamt 'ne coole Route um sich ordentlich auszupoweren!
