A climb peppered with switchbacks (for the Ruhr region). The asphalt is still new, and it rolls well—at least as far as the gradient allows. You should probably be careful going downhill; as I drove up the hill today (May 10, 2025), there were chalk drawings on the asphalt from an accident. It seems to me that the Ruhr region residents, who are only experienced in hills, aren't used to driving switchbacks.
