Kottersberg from Thal

At just 0.9km, Kottersberg from Thal is short but deceptively intense — 43m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. Averaging 4.8%, the road kicks to 7.4% 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 Bavaria, Germany.
