From the single-lane, asphalted road you have a beautiful view of the climatic health resort of Grafschaft and the Wilzenberg behind it.

Friends of cycling, the high point of the Schanze even made it into the pass lexicon of quäldich.de, meaning: it doesn't get more "alpine" than this in North Rhine-Westphalia. Let's stay geologically correct and use the more pleasant term "Variscan." This Variscan landscape could present itself to the cheerful cyclist in all its panorama, if it weren't for the need to brake and the steep, 4km climb. Definitely a road bike route. Otherwise, a classic climb for all crossings of the Rothaarkamm. Traffic is rather light, but there are plenty of non-locals who calmly ride behind you.
