A fun and tasty climb that actually starts after 2 kilometres. From there, fairly steady at a nice percentage through a wooded area. The road surface is fine, there is little traffic and you meander nicely uphill. As far as I'm concerned, the best way to climb the Firstplan. Although the last few kilometres from the other side are nice too
Een leuke en lekkere beklimming die eigenlijk pas na 2 kilometer begint. Vanaf daar vrij stabiel aan een mooi percentage door een bosrijke omgeving. Het wegdek is prima, er is weinig verkeer en je slingert leuk naar boven. Wat mij betreft de mooiste manier om de Firstplan te beklimmen. Al zijn de laatste kilometers van de andere kant ook wel mooi
Interesting climb to set the scene. First of all, 2 pieces of information about the surface: it's very clean but the level crossing in the valley has to be crossed on foot (the first time I've seen this description). The 2nd piece of information is that the carriageway has subsided and work will have to be carried out in the summer of 2023.
That said, the climb is steady and pleasant in the forest.
Montée intéressante pour planter le décor. Avant tout, 2 informations sur le revêtement , il est très propre mais le passage à niveau dans la vallée est à passer à pied . ( 1ere fois que je vois ce signalement ). La 2ème information est une zone d'affaissement de chaussée entraînant des travaux en été 2023.
Ceci étant dit , la montée est constante et agréable en forêt.
I used this climb on the first day to get used to the climbs in the Vosges. Relaxed climb with good tarmac and little traffic.
The gradient is around 7％; a real runner.
Ik heb deze klim gebruikt om op de eerste dag te wennen aan de klimmetjes in de Vogezen. Relaxte klim met goed asfalt en weinig verkeer.
Het stijgingspercentage is zo rond de 7％; een echte loper te noemen.
I came across this climb on my way to the Grand ballon. Pretty tough if you don't expect it. But a great descent and good tarmac.
Ik kwam deze klim tegen op mijn weg naar de Grand ballon. Best pittig als je hem niet verwacht. Wel een heerlijke afdaling en goed asfalt.
Fairly steep climb once past Soultzbach (7-8％), which is fine for cyclists starting out on the mountain. Unfortunately, the whole climb is in the woods, which blocks the view of the valley. I encountered a few cars but nothing troublesome.
Montée assez raide une fois Soultzbach passé (7-8％), ce qui convient pour les cyclistes qui commencent la montagne. Malheureusement, toute la montée se fait dans les bois, ce qui bloque la vue sur la vallée. J'ai rencontré quelques voitures mais rien de gênant.
