The "Hirschberger Wand" with its 33% gradient is really a blast! If you are in the area with a racing bike, you should treat yourself (after a good breakfast). The slope is not long, it may be just 150m, but it feels really vertical up the wall. I was up at 98% of my maximum heart rate 😅 It is certainly not optimal if you already have over 100 km in your legs before the climb 😁
Unfortunately, the municipality failed to put up a sign with a gradient of 33% below 😔

One of the steepest road sections in Europe. - 33%

Here, the professionals are fighting high as part of the Sauerland Tour :)
