Poppen from Wieden

At just 2.1km, Poppen from Wieden is short but deceptively intense — 110m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The average gradient of 5.2% disguises ramps of 12% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. The 2 hairpin turns break up the climb, each one revealing a new perspective on the road ahead. Located in Styria, Austria.
