Altenberg from Altershausen

At just 1.2km, Altenberg from Altershausen is short but deceptively intense — 47m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The average gradient of 3.9% disguises ramps of 9.1% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. It's over before the legs know what happened — a short, explosive effort where momentum is everything. Located in Bavaria, Germany.
