The pass road (B 138) has a maximum grade of 10 percent.
Since the middle of the 1980s, traffic on the pass has been reduced by the opening of the Bosruck Tunnel for the A9 Pyhrn Autobahn.
On the Upper Austrian side west of the pass is the summer and ski resort Wurzeralm, and east of the pass is Bosruck, which is noted for hiking and cross-country skiing.
Because the pass is a relatively low one, it has been important regionally since the Stone Age.
