A worthwhile photo opportunity. After the climb and the hairpin bend, the view of the tunnel and viaduct opens up.

Small rest area on the Mommelstein cycle path. However, you have to be careful, otherwise you will quickly cycle past 😉
Possibility to put on or take off a jacket before or after crossing the tunnel.

The maximum gradient is approx. 4.5% .

Don't just use the paths on the shore, but also those in the adjacent forests, you feel like you're in Jurassic Park. 😄
