Road cycling

The Steigstraße flows into the Spirzenstraße pass coming from the town of Wagensteig. This stretch is very steep in places, with a gradient of more than 15%, but I would estimate it to be easily 18 - 20%. This little road initially leads through the forest, then continues through open countryside. You are alone there, in contrast to the Spirzenstraße, where motorcyclists - and car drivers - race uphill. Nevertheless, you can hear the roar of the engines from the Spirzenstraße at the upper end of the Steigstraße.

The top of the pass should be somewhere else. It's a great climb, relatively quiet.

The Spirzen climb leads to the B500 at Thurner, but you can avoid it if you want to go to Jostal; the Hofstraße is the best option, directly behind the Thurner Wirtshaus.
