Really crisp increase from Wehlen out on the hill to Waltersdorf. In the beginning well over 10 percent, in the peaks up to 20 percent. Goes well in the legs :-). Once at the top of the forest, it becomes flatter.

It's a shame that the hard-earned climb in altitude is compensated for so quickly. But the small town of Rathen makes up for this mini-frustration, for example with the view of the castle.
