Even though you had to ride downhill here on the Schwarzwald Super!, I would only do it as a climb. Riding at high speed on gravel/sand isn't fun on a road bike, especially since the path is very narrow.

For me, this has always been one of the most beautiful climbs in the Black Forest. Crisp, idyllic, and essentially car-free.
