How to get there	The normal road up from the east starts near the highest point between Innertkirchen and Meiringen (705m) (Scheideggstrasse). Closer to Meiringen in Willigen (621m) there is another road via Schwendi (Schwendistrasse), with view of the famous Rychenbachfall (famous for Sherlock Holmes plotting his own fictional death there). This last road is easy in descnet, but since it has a gravel section and is very steep at times, it might be very hard to climb all the way with a racer bicycle. The two roads meets after just a few kilometres. Then soon afterwards they meet another road signposted to Meiringen, but I have not tried it and it does not appear on maps. (The bus uses the first road.) The road up the east is steep and hard (up to 16-18% at one point). The western approach starts in Grindelwald (1034m) and appears to be a somewhat easier. One perhaps also count Zweilütschinen (655m) as a start on this side.
Other comments	There is a long almost flat section in the middle of the eastern climb. There is water on the way. There is a hotel/restaurant at the top. There are some ”cattle stoppers” (word?) – electrified ones that goes to the side if you simply drive through them (do not open them by hand, just cycle through). The views at the top and even lower down of the surrounding mountains are superb! Be careful when descnding the east side! [CH-BE-1962]
