Schlossstrasse from Oberengbach

At just 1.2km, Schlossstrasse from Oberengbach is short but deceptively intense — 40m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The average gradient of 3.3% disguises ramps of 8.4% — 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.
