Meilenhöhe from Schwabbach Tal

At just 1.4km, Meilenhöhe from Schwabbach Tal is short but deceptively intense — 84m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The average gradient of 5.9% disguises ramps of 12.6% — 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.
