A long climb (for the standard of the area) with some pretty tough sections.
There can be a lot of cars in the summer but in the low season it's quite quiet.
There is a small fountain on the right hand side of the road after the junction to the Kreuzweg pass, for refreshment or refilling water bottles.
Note that this pass continues to the local high point (Champ du Feu) which will offer a nice view of the Vosges to the west and the plain to the east, at the cost of another two kilometres at 7％.
Une longue montée (pour le standard de la région) avec des passages assez durs.
Il peut y avoir beaucoup de voitures l'été mais en saison basse c'est assez tranquille.
Il y a une petite fontaine sur le côté droit de la route après le croisement allant au col de Kreuzweg, pour se rafraichir ou remplir les bidons.
Notez que ce col continu vers le point culminant local (le Champ du Feu) qui offrira une belle vue sur les Vosges à l'Ouest et la plaine à l'Est, au prix de deux kilomètres encore à 7％.
In itself, this is a nice climb. However, the experience is completely spoiled by the amount of motorized traffic. In the 12 kilometres of this climb I was overtaken by hundreds of souped-up Volkswagens and just as many groups of motorbikes. It really made me nervous at one point. The amount of noise of crackling engines is terrible. Best to leave this one aside, or just do it on a Monday morning.
The climb itself is constant and I found it quite tough. The road surface is good and wide. With 5 km to go, on the right side of the road is a small spring with ice cold water for your water bottle. Do it!
Op zich is dit een mooie klim. De ervaring wordt echter volledig verpest door het vele gemotoriseerde verkeer. Ik ben in de 12 kilometer van deze klim door honderden opgevoerde Volkswagentjes en even zoveel knetterende groepen motoren ingehaald. Ik werd er op een gegeven moment echt nerveus van. De hoeveelheid lawaai van knetterende motoren is vreselijk. Lekker links laten liggen deze, of gewoon op een maandagmorgen doen.
De klim zelf is constant en ik vond dat vrij pittig. Het wegdek is goed en breed. Met nog 5 kilometer te gaan is aan de rechterkant van de weg een bronnetje te vinden met ijskoud water voor in je bidon. Doen!
Sorry but what were you expecting, it's a col in the end, motorized vehicles are often attracted, see Ventoux. Also you possibly climbed it in the wrong day, the vehicles you encountered were probably here because of an organization
