Cols de Cologne (Halberg)

One of our favorite Cols is the route up to Halberg: a little over a kilometer long, an average of 7.6 percent steep and more curves than Ulle at Christmas time.

Immediately behind the Donrath triangle, a steep ramp leads up to the Finale Furioso: it is like hairpins on the Stelvio. As soon as you have found a rhythm through the winding serpentines, redemption is already in sight.

In the shade of an ancient summer linden tree, the Halberg chapel, consecrated to Sankt Isidor, crowns the top of the pass. Take a deep breath and send a short "www" to heaven - Saint Isidore is the patron saint of the internet.

Nice climb to avoid the busy Jabachtalstraße

Good climb. As always, watch out for the cars in the serpentines.
