Bergstraße Ascent to Kleiner Weißberg

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Great ascent, little traffic, perfect asphalt and right through the mystical forest. there are also some really great views thanks to the switchbacks.
The gradient usually fluctuates between 5% -8% and is therefore still easy to do.
