The start is right at the Explorer Hotel Oberstdorf. Then it's off - along the Breitach River, you follow the road towards Tiefenbach. Here you have another 6km to warm up before the real challenge begins in Obermaiselstein. You can already feel it getting steeper, but spoiler alert: it's about to get even steeper, as you won't be able to avoid the 16% gradient. But the effort is worth it, as you'll be surrounded by a magnificent mountain panorama.
Once you reach the top of the pass, you can be really proud of yourself! You've conquered the highest drivable mountain pass by bike! 💪
Please note: our tour data is one-way! Either you turn around at the top of the pass and enjoy another 11 km of downhill fun back to the hotel, or you combine the tour with another loop.
Pssst: You can also get up here on a mountain bike or gravel bike, as long as you have the leg strength! 😉 Logically, with the right gear ratio, you might save a few pounds.
