It is not surprising that the Beigarten Climb follows directly behind the Schäftlarner Berg. Because the two virtually belong together. Munich racing cyclists usually ride via Beigarten on the way back - against the historic route of the Olympic road race. Schäftlarn and Beigarten lie to the left and right of the Isar. They offer a special way of gaining metres in altitude: the Schäftlarn swing is the name given to the back and forth between the climbs on both sides of the river. However, the character of the Beigarten Climb differs significantly from the Schäftlarner Berg: it is much less rhythmic. In the lower section, you can still push up quickly, but in the second bend, the gradient rises to over 8.2 %, which slows you down. After the third bend, the gradient drops significantly again and the long straight invites you to sprint uphill - perfect for a lactate finish! In the men's race, Quirin Haidl from Radtem Impuls holds the KOM, QOM is mountain biker Gloria Baier.
