The final two kilometers of this short climb
are particularly steep.
This part includes the steepest kilometer
of the Black Forest of this website (14.6%; november 2017).
Also two 250 meter sections are the steepest ones in the Black Forest,
with slopes of 17 and 19%.
The last and hardest of these two sections was so utterly steep that
I had to stand on the pedals
in order to avoid falling.
From the starting point in Ottenhöfen
one first heads towards Allerheiligen.
After one and a half kilometers one turns to the right
in Unterwasser into a street named Wolfersbach.
From here the route runs uphill along a badly asphalted
road with almost no traffic
through a beautiful valley with farms and meadows.
The first kilometer is still only moderately steep (6-8%).
Then the two infernal last kilometers appear.
There are no signs to Sohlberg on the way.
Always choose the logical continuation
and take the road to the left
at a bifurcation one kilometer before the end,
where the choice is really difficult.
