Col du Gross Birk from Rolbing

At just 2.8km, Col du Gross Birk from Rolbing is short but deceptively intense — 87m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The average gradient of 3.1% disguises ramps of 10.7% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. The 2 hairpin turns break up the climb, each one revealing a new perspective on the road ahead. Located in Rheinland-Pfalz, France.
