The Hundstruck Pass rises to 748 meters.
From the Thur valley, the ascent extends over 6 kilometers, with an average gradient of 6.5%.
The road is in very good condition, thanks to the passage of the Tour de France in 2019.

After the Grand Ballon, the ascent is shorter, but it also needs to be ridden. There are restaurants upstairs to regain your strength.

"Torment yourself, you sow!" Udo Bölt's helper is said to have yelled at his team captain Jan Ullrich on this rather second-rate pass at the 1997 Tour de France. It can no longer be determined exactly whether this is exactly the case, but at least the name of the pass "Hundsruck" actually fits the saying quite well and the website quaeldich.de, which has already been mentioned in another comment, also fits this cycling myth quite well.
