The first kilometer leads uphill at a constant gradient (10%) on a long straight, partly in the shade. This is followed by two hairpin bends and the second longer straight with a continued rhythmic ascent. The road flattens out for about 200m between hairpin bends 3 and 4 and offers (the only) chance to recover and, above all, catch your breath for the last, most demanding kilometer.
At a maximum of 16% - often in direct sunlight - the basilica doesn't really want to come any closer. Directly below the basilica, the cul-de-sac turns off to the right and becomes even steeper. (Easy to ride) cobblestones provide additional resistance and are reminiscent of the great Belgian classic climbs. Fight - 200m to go!
In the narrow lane directly below the pilgrimage church, your lungs and thighs really burn until you reach the forecourt of the basilica. The 360° panoramic view of the Mostviertel and the Ybbstal Alps rewards you for your efforts on the climb.
Caution on the descent! Steep gradient and please be considerate of pedestrians in the basilica area.
(Road bike) with an appropriate climbing gear, e.g. 36-28
