Hörnerbahn from Hintereckalpe

At just 1.1km, Hörnerbahn from Hintereckalpe is short but deceptively intense — 67m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The average gradient of 6.3% disguises ramps of 14.7% — 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. The road reaches 1,519m — high enough to feel the altitude on tired legs. Located in Bavaria, Germany.
