Hochstrasse from Hergenrath

At just 1km, Hochstrasse from Hergenrath is short but deceptively intense — 40m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. Averaging 4.1%, the road kicks to 7.1% at its steepest — a notable steepening that demands respect. It's over before the legs know what happened — a short, explosive effort where momentum is everything. Located in Wallonia, Belgium.
