Other climbs Austria

There are two good reasons to cycle from Dornbirn to Ebnit. First, the climb includes a magnificent section for the true mountain specialist. It begins after the almost horizontal first 3.5 kilometers, is about 1.5 km long and includes a steepest kilometer of 14.5%. When I cycled here in 2022 the bridge that crosses the valley halfway through this steep passage was closed. So I had to make a detour around a reservoir. After the steep passage 45 elevation meters are lost in a descent. The subsequent part is the second attraction of this climb and will especially appeal to canyon friends. The road lies at the bottom of a gorge and passes through a series of short tunnels. Because the tunnels are not illuminated, it is recommended to take light with you. From the beginning of the gorge to the end of the ride at the church in Ebnit (another 4 kilometers) the road is steep again (often 10-11%). An inn for drinks and snacks lies along the road about a kilometer behind the church.
