Of course the road is quite steep, but also very wide. You shouldn't overestimate yourself, but don't be afraid either. In Mallnitz, let the cars pass from the tunnel lock and drive more relaxed.

Very nice, fast descent - of course only down ;). Relatively safe to drive with little traffic, curves are easy to see. Rarely but occasionally there are nasty and dangerous potholes/road repairs. Drive carefully! At the end (at the entrance to the village) you have to drive slowly so as not to rush into the village. Brakes can get warm to hot.

Super nice long road descent. Once the cars have passed through the Tauernschleuse there is not much traffic on this route.
