A nice trip and pleasant trip to konig see with the optional klimb on to Kehlstein. Roßfeldringstraße-Kehlsteinstraße (1720 m) from Berchtesgaden (Germany), 8,7 km, average grade 13,2%, maxima 24%. The 530 meters of vertical from Berchtesgaden to Obersalzberg are said to be covered by a road that is only 2,2 kilometers in length (although it might be as long as 2,5 km) which implies an average grade of 24% (or as little as 22%). From Obersalzberg one can follow the Kehlstein- straße to the Eagle's Nest, another 6,5 km at 10%; unfortunately this last road is closed even to cyclists. Normally the Roßfeldringstraße is done from Unterau, 11,0 km at 9,3%, included in the Tour of Bavaria.by stsimon
