Brockhorst Ascent

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Nice crunchy slope, steeper than Vogelsang, but shorter. Good alternative to the Ruhr Valley Road. Go up from the panoramic bike path to Hösel.

Nierenhofer Climb with Panoramic Views

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Long climb.

At the beginning just over 10%, then constant between 7% to 8%. Flattens out to 4% in the further course. At the top there is another ramp with 5% to 7%.

Asphalt is fine.

Climb to Langenberg Transmitter

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

A long but fairly steady climb. From the very bottom, the climb is about four kilometers long, with brand new asphalt. The road invites you to climb and take a quick descent.

Langenberg Transmitter

Highlight • Monument

3 ways to torment here, rest stop Bismarkturm.
By no means take the footpath suggested by Komoot in the northern ascent, but with a 38% incline, I'm down, but I'm not tough enough even with 34 to 32 Omagang.

The Esel Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Why is that called "on the donkey" here? The answer is: There used to be not this beautiful road here, but a steep path that the carters had to climb. …
