Absolutely magnificent but steep, even very steep in places, especially in the part in the forest. Fortunately 1-2 km on the flat allows you to breathe a little. The coating is very good, some bovi-stops. Almost no traffic. There is a bakery at the bottom of the pass, at the very beginning. And in the old school, self-service selectas, as well as WCs (0.50.- to be paid via Twint or cash) as well as a fountain next to the cemetery. Very convenient :)

The climb on both sides is all on asphalt roads. At the very top there is a good gravel path for about 300 m.
