The road to the pass is a good gravel track. Usually impassable in winters. The average gradient to the summit is 12,1% with some sections up to 15%. The road ends ca. 300 m below the summit of the famous Oisternig peak, at a small mountain hotel. It has a well-deserved reputation for being dangerous because of unpredictable snowstorms and blizzards, and driving under these conditions, can be extremely challenging.
