The climb begins at the exit of the village of Russ with a very easy slope to tackle. A first flat area appears before the road rises again at Schwarzbach. It is then off for 3.4 km on a beautiful shaded road. The reward is discovered at the summit when you arrive in the beautiful village of Grandelbruch. For the more courageous, it is possible to continue with the climb of Hobhul (to be taken at the town hall) for a total climb of 10.5 km / 480 D+ (starting from the exit of Russ).
