Ascent to Kleiner Feldberg

Highlight • Climb

A beautiful, winding, but not exactly rhythmic climb from the Red Cross to the Feldberg. Traffic is light during the week. The gradient averages about 6%, with short sections reaching 13%.

Whether up or down, this section is simply enjoyable.

Final spurt!!! From here you're almost there. Shortly after the sign you can either turn right and plunge into the descent, or you can turn left and climb the last steep meters up to the Feldberg Plateau.

Ascent from Rotes Kreuz to the Feldberg

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

First curve behind the Red Cross on the way to Feldberg. When there are not many motorcyclists, it is wonderfully quiet and the fresh air is fantastic.

Completely new asphalt since August 2019. Perfect road surface for a fast descent with some soft curves. Is also good to drive as a climb.

August 31, 2024,Von einem Klapprad geschlagen 😱🫣

On the last kilometer before the summit plateau, a folding bike suddenly passed me 😱🫣.
The rider on it had a bright red face 🥵, but managed to utter a strained "hello", more like a croak, but I understood.

For all you German teachers, I am well aware that it wasn't the folding bike that beat me, but the rider …

Großer Feldberg in the Taunus, the 16th in 2024. Today it was very relaxed up there, a few motorbikes, they are actually always up there, 3 racing cyclists (with me), 1 mountain bike rider
and that was it. The walkers had all moved to the large meadow or Brunhildisfelsen, overall it was a relaxed atmosphere today.

September 14, 2023,Feldberg - mit frischem FirmwareUpdate auf den Shiftern - alles ok 👍🏼

Today with a fresh firmware update on both shifters, immediately tested on the mountain to see whether everything works perfectly.
It worked!
Unfortunately, the so-called specialist workshops did not work. My bike was in the workshop for service twice. The circuit should even be adjusted once. Both workshops failed to give my shifters the upcoming firmware update. Simply overlooked or …

Check the route to see if the Feldberg is still there.
It is! Where else should it go 😜.

August 7, 2024,Weil‘s gestern so schön war … FB #26/2024

Because it was so nice yesterday, I'm going to the Feldberg again today.

In reality, I have to be careful that I don't fall behind, as @Luciano Kon🚲 Schrecke-Chiacchiararelli has already gone to the altitude training camp 😜.

A little (insider) joke.

September 22, 2023,🌬️🚴🏼‍♂️… nur blöd, wenn einen die Seitenböe erfasst und fast vom Rennrad schmeißt 😬

It blew a lot 🌬️today. It's pretty tricky when you go downhill quickly and then get buffeted by the crosswind. I almost had the feeling that he was pushing the front wheel away from me. If only it were at least even.
But as I said, if you don't love the wind...
My considerable respect for the side gusts caused …
