Rather gentle, very smooth climb, mostly hardly any traffic, but also popular with the motorized two-wheeler faction.

Super nice climb, fine smooth asphalt (05/25), shady forest, a fountain at the start and after a third of it - a racing bike dream!

A very beautiful, but narrow and winding track. Currently (05/25) the surface is very good.
