Nice climb here, on a paved path up to Hering and the castle. The incline is mostly about 7%, max. 10%. About halfway up, where the cross paths appear, there is a bench and you have a wonderful view of the Dieburg Basin. If the weather is good, wonderful shots can be taken here.
Always watch out for oncoming traffic on the climb, cyclists are also very, very fast on the incline! In the upper third, the incline slowly decreases (3-5%) and once you have reached the top, you can have a very nice look back.

Coming from Lengfeld, you can already see the great "Veste Otzberg" in front of you.
