The ~10% incline is something you're used to in the Black Forest, but the psychological aspect is particularly challenging here.Because the route is relatively straight, you only see the endless ramp ahead, which seems to never end. It feels like you're making no progress over the 3km until you finally reach the top.Cars are allowed here—unfortunately, the width of the route isn't exactly ideal for overtaking—but fortunately, it's relatively rare for anyone to pass.I'd prefer to take the country road downhill because of the damaged surface—but it's fine uphill.
