Kessel from Eschen

At just 1.2km, Kessel from Eschen is short but deceptively intense — 49m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The average gradient of 4% disguises ramps of 8.5% — 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.
