Himmelreich from Unterleinach via Steigstrasse

At just 1.6km, Himmelreich from Unterleinach via Steigstrasse is short but deceptively intense — 121m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. Averaging 7.6%, the road kicks to 11.5% at its steepest — a testing gradient that demands respect. It's over before the legs know what happened — a short, explosive effort where momentum is everything. Located in Bavaria, Germany.
