The same conclusion again on the way up: the asphalt on Hergiswaldstrasse is rough and less pleasant than the road on the Schwarzenberg side.

The Michaelskreuz is also really tough, especially at the end.

Unfortunately, I didn't take any photos, maybe next time when I'm already familiar with those sections.
