    Don't trust anyone who claims that the Glessenerhöhe is just an overburden heap. fake news! The "Monte Glessano" is the place of pilgrimage for cyclists in the otherwise flat west of Cologne. At 205 meters high, it is not only the highest elevation in the Rhein-Erft district, its two-kilometer-long, even gradient is said to have served one or the other professional as preparation for the difficult mountain stages of the tour.

    The only bend on the way up, where there is always a bit of gravel lurking for the pilgrims, can also be described as legendary.

    A must if you want to gain altitude in the corner. Happy a few times in a row.

    A classic in the region. But has the disadvantage that it is a dead end for racing bikes. Everything is "shattered" above
