Right after the start of this ascent, when the slope was still pleasant, a passer-by wished us "have fun". Since these words were not spoken without irony, I realized that a steep climb was waiting for us. Indeed, the first three kilometers of this ride have an average gradient of 11.4%. In this part the road runs continually through the forest. Only at the Schornhof (a farm) the landscape becomes more open and the road less steep (one and a half kilometer sloping 7-9%). The last two kilometers are a child's play (0-2%). The climb ends at the Moosenmättle inn.
