An absolute experience with the racing bike to climb the climb to the Kreuzberg monastery. In the meantime up to 20% gradient, on average it is about 10%. If you come from wild game spots, you have to climb well beforehand.

The monks in Kreuzberg Monastery brew pure beer and also have delicious food on offer. After the climb you earned it and it tasted twice as good.

Probably the most famous ascent in the area to the Kreuzberg monastery. Rewarding goal with the road bike. Definitely plan on a tour.

The climb to the monastery is known for its steepness, with sections having gradients of up to 20%. On average the gradient is around 10%, which is a real challenge for racing cyclists. Especially if you come from the direction of Oberwildflecken, you have already covered a few meters in altitude before the final climb to the monastery begins.

However, the effort of the climb is rewarded at the finish. The monks of Kreuzberg Monastery are known not only for their hospitality, but also for their home-brewed beer and the tasty food they offer. After a strenuous journey, these culinary rewards taste twice as good and offer a welcome respite.

The monastery itself is a place of peace and reflection. It offers overnight accommodation for visitors looking for accommodation after a longer bike ride. The monastery's location in the picturesque Rhön landscape makes it a perfect destination for racing cyclists who are looking for both sporting challenges and cultural and spiritual experiences.
