This path is very washed out after heavy rain and full of coarse debris and deep ruts. Plus the incline - easy is different 🙈
You will be rewarded with fantastic views!

The gravel part is the steepest at around 19%, but the asphalt path is also not easy at around 16% at the top, especially for descending. But be very careful when descending, because at one point there is a relatively high edge due to a new layer of asphalt, which is why you can only really go down there quickly with a mountain bike without worrying. With almost all other bikes, especially gravel bikes or racing bikes for whatever reason, you have to be particularly careful at this point and go slowly at the top.
