A short climb, and at the top, the fantastic Joseph's Cross awaits. The short gravel section at the beginning is no problem, even on a racing bike. After that, the asphalt follows all the way to the top.

The first 300 meters begin with gravel, but the rest of the climb is paved with a moderate gradient. You also have a magnificent view of the surrounding Harz Mountains.
