The climb from Waldkirch to the 1,204-meter-high Kandelsattel not only offers a respectable height difference of a good 900 meters, but the route also offers an almost Alpine flair with its winding and partly steep course. One of the most beautiful climbs in the Black Forest. Currently (12/2022) the lower half has been newly asphalted, but the upper half is in poor condition. Which doesn't matter on the way up, but requires caution on a possible descent and significantly reduces the fun.
