This ascent overcomes a considerable number of elevation meters (711). The ride is perhaps a little boring because the slope does not vary much (mostly 6-8%) and because the forest hardly allows views. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the climb since the valley, through which one bikes up, provided a feeling of loneliness. There is also some variation through three sections with bends, necessary to gain height. From the parking lot at Kreuzweg there is a wonderful view in the east direction, among other things on the Belchen, which is visible from almost everywhere in this region. It is lying on the left side of the road rising far above the rest of the landscape.
