ファルツェス-ファルツェスの峠・トップ13

If you're only planning a one-day hike to the Würzjoch, I recommend the western approach from Brixen, St. Andrä. The approach from Lüsen is definitely worth the extra climb as an alternative. The gradient is undoubtedly very steep for much of the way, but I didn't see the 18-19% mentioned here, at least not on my Wahoo today. The biggest challenge lies in the first half, which is always an advantage in my opinion. The road surface varies greatly from "good" to "disastrous." Traffic was light, so you're mostly alone. (August, peak season) And I don't want to offend anyone, but due to a lack of transportation while on vacation, I (46 years old, averagely "talented" at best) rode up on a rental road bike (11-32 cassette) from the local bike shop (10 kg) without having to dismount. Go for it!!

One of the most beautiful panoramic views on the dream path from Munich to Venice!

A beautiful but challenging climb through a great valley along a mountain stream with almost no traffic. There are small ramps of up to 18%, but also short breaks (I have to disagree with the previous speaker on this point). As far as the road surface is concerned, I can only recommend the route as an ascent. It is only moderately good and in many places it is wet from small streams even in dry weather. This, together with the recurring wooden bridges over the mountain stream, reduces the fun of a fast descent. But I would always prefer the route for the ascent. Quote @wolfi: "The reward - hardly any traffic and very beautiful views."

Fantastically beautiful place to rest with a great view 😎🤩

In Jöchle you also have a great view and at the cross there is also a bench to rest on 👍, be careful ⚠️ there is a risk of not wanting to go any further 😜🤣😂 !!!

Beautiful scenery to see at any time of the year. A bit difficult to see the route when there is snow. Magical

Incredible all-round panorama, from the main Alpine ridge to deep in the south

As a racing bike rider (from Lüsen to the merger with Würzjochstraße) I would avoid going in both directions from this section. Even very well trained people have to relegate. No fun going down either.
