Rather a hidden street that leads up from Fahrnbuck to Lehnacker with a moderate to steep incline. The road winds through a shady forest with a twisting gradient up to 12%, in the upper area then across meadows and with a wonderful view. If the conditions are right, there is a wonderful view of the Alpine chain from the top. 05/2020 the surface was in good condition, so it is recommended to go up and down with the racing bike.

A real gem and highly recommended. Status 04/2022 good to very good road surface.

From Fahrnbuck you drive into the valley with small meadows to the left and right of the road and a stream next to it. As usual, there is no constant incline, even if the road gets quite steep a few times. From the 180° curve further back in the valley, the incline becomes constant at over 10% as you drive up the mountain flank. When you arrive in Lehnacker you should still have a bit of reserve, because even if you can already smell the road to Sallneck further up, there is still a good way up the mountain.
I can only agree with the previous comments: a very beautiful piece in wonderful nature!
