Hilberath Ascent

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Edit: The road was freshly asphalted in June/July 2023, so nothing stands in the way of a quick descent.

Still a great climb. BUT: Unfortunately, the road suffered a lot …

Joining us today were Rolf and Theo. Although there were no technical issues today, Theo & Rolf's sore asses (due to a previous celebration 🥳) meant there were plenty of relaxing breaks 😅
