Kreuzberg Pass

A saddle in the forest that connects Hermagor (Gailtal) in the south and Greifenburg (Drautal) in the north. The southern ascent is well developed with good road quality and is easy to drive with pleasant inclines. The north ascent, on the other hand, unfortunately has somewhat poorer road conditions and is sometimes significantly steeper. Anyone who drives the route should definitely make a detour to the beautiful Weissensee!

As a pass, the Kreuzberg is rather unspectacular. There is no view here, and there is not much to linger on. It is more of a transit pass that connects the two valleys. Coming from Hermagor, it is a very long climb that becomes tough at the end. Coming from Greifenburg, it is very tough, especially after Pobersach/Waisach, it is just miserably steep with over 15% towards the turnoff to the very beautiful Weissensee. This means that there is a lot of traffic, especially on the northern slope - both downhill and uphill. Sports cars are also often tested here, so there can be some tricky situations here too. Better than driving early in the morning or later in the day when the excursion traffic has passed. Otherwise, it is mostly good asphalt!

The south side is easy to ride with RR, the north side a little more difficult with 13%.
