グライフェンブルクの峠・トップ6

Test ride to the Kreuzbergsattel, for Sunday bike trip to Weißensee.

After the ascent from the Feldnerhütte, especially in good weather, a fantastic view opens up from the Kreuzeck group towards the north-west and you can see Austria's highest mountain, the Großglockner, in the distance.

As a pass, the Kreuzberg is rather unspectacular. There is no view here, and there is not much to linger on. It is more of a transit pass that connects the two valleys. Coming from Hermagor, it is a very long climb that becomes tough at the end. Coming from Greifenburg, it is very tough, especially after Pobersach/Waisach, it is just miserably steep with over 15% towards the turnoff to the very beautiful Weissensee. This means that there is a lot of traffic, especially on the northern slope - both downhill and uphill. Sports cars are also often tested here, so there can be some tricky situations here too. Better than driving early in the morning or later in the day when the excursion traffic has passed. Otherwise, it is mostly good asphalt!

Very nice, steady climb to the Weißensee!👍

The Glenktörl is a 4-way cross at 2457 meters in the Kreuzeck group.

The pass only has this steepness on the downhill side...not if you are approaching from the direction of Rattendorf. From there it is about 12 km of incline in waves 😉👍. Have fun

Are you sure?

Beautiful from the Gitschtal and then down to Weißensee
