Not all that steep, if you expect the promised 20%. Coming from Reinerzau, the 12% average over approximately 1.6km is still decent. The gradient definitely remains in the double digits throughout, reaching approximately 15%. For the lower 800m near Reinerzau, the surface is immaculate, having been resurfaced, but unfortunately, the rest is quite bumpy – so be careful on the descent! There might also be the occasional car on the road. Although the section after Alpirsbach is a bit flatter, you should still brake regularly to avoid speeding at 60-70 km/h into a 30 km/h zone.

There are several hiking trails available up here. They are versatile and cross-field in, around and through the forests.

Coming from the west, I would take the Oppenauer Steige or up via Maisach. It's definitely quieter there.

The B28 will be renovated from the outskirts of Bad Griesbach to the junction with the B 500 at Alexanderschanze. From June 20, 2022 until probably Saturday August 20, 2022. Driving through is not tolerated.

My recommendation: down, because then you can keep up with the speed of traffic. There are a lot of motorbikes here in summer and not everyone is considerate (distance and such).
