Sünzhausen from Holzhausen

At just 1.7km, Sünzhausen from Holzhausen is short but deceptively intense — 50m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The average gradient of 2.9% disguises ramps of 6.1% — 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.
