Schönfeldsattel from Kremsbrücke

The L19 rises 13.6km through wooded valleys and open mountainside, gaining 808m to 1,762m. The average gradient of 5.9% disguises ramps of 12.9% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. The 6 hairpin turns break up the climb, each one revealing a new perspective on the road ahead. The road reaches 1,762m — high enough to feel the altitude on tired legs. Located in Carinthia, Austria.
