Steep, exhausting, with sliding passages. Definitely a borderline experience, but arriving at the top is worth something. Definitely a highlight on every alpine cross!

From Oberstorf you can easily drive up very far. Then comes a beverage fountain hut. The entrance to the pass begins with a steep hiking trail, where the bike has to be lifted over some high stones. At the top again very steep over the 10-15 steps. After the stairs is a curve with an exposed 5m long narrow piece. The sign is there too. After that, the path is not as bad as it is always described, as it is wide enough. Lifting the bike over the stairs is also quite unspectacular. Can also be done with a 25kg e-bike if you can hold the bike in your hand for a few seconds and hold on to the railing of the stairs with the other hand. Pushing aids do almost all the work, just don't work on the wooden stairs that come before the pass, because it's too steep there, you have to be able to push up or carry with your muscles. But it's only a few meters, maybe move the bike several times until you're at the top.
The descent on the other side in the direction of Warth is first through forest and bushes, later there is a steeper section (50m?), which technical riders can descend, if you are not a downhill fan, you can push down the few meters without any problems. In Warth there is a butcher's shop that offers VERY cheap accommodation (shared rooms around 30 euros), as well as a great snack bar with a terrace. If woods means butcher, you should definitely make a stop. If you have any questions about the Schrofenpass, just write to me. greetings

The Schrofenpass is always a highlight for me! A bit more alpine, more exposed, more exciting... but the descent to Warth is a bit more demanding. You should already have a good driving technique.
