Other climbs Austria

Kaltenbrunnen is a high-altitude settlement consisting of modern, mostly spacious, detached houses and a restaurant, which, however, was closed even the sunny Sunday in June when I biked here. The climb to the settlement starts in Egg and first runs along the main road towards Schwarzenberg. After a little less than a kilometre the route turns right and up to the hamlet of Kammern the cycling remains relatively easy (3-6% from Egg to Kammern). After that hamlet and over the remaining 3.5 kilometres the work gets serious. The gradient fluctuates mostly around 10% but from the Gasthof Alpenrose the road is considerably steeper (13%). The ride ends at the end of the asphalt. Except for the first kilometre, the road is narrow, very quiet and well paved. The views over the hills of the Brengenzerwald are wonderful.
