The Schauinsland can be navigated from different sides. The northwest climb from Günterstal is the most relaxed. There is a slightly steeper section at the beginning, but after that the climb is very manageable.
Unusual times are ideal for less traffic. On weekends (not on Friday!) the mountain is closed to motorcyclists, but not everyone sticks to this. In summer there is the so-called “Schauinslandkönig”, a race up to Schauinsland.

Ascent cap 12 km long.
The first km steep from the Bohrer junction, then moderately to the Gießhübel junction, the last 3km flatter.

A must for all cyclists interested in sports. Relatively quiet street, well developed and except for the lower part with a moderate slope.
