long 'climb'. Not challenging, nice road surface, not difficult, but busy. Trucks come close to you as they don't have much room to cross due to traffic from the other direction. The real climb is actually only 2 km long. The climbing only starts after 12 km and at km 14 already done

lange 'beklimming'. Niet uitdagend, mooi wegdek, niet lastig, maar wel druk. Vrachtwagens komen dicht bij u rijden, omdat ze niet veel plaats hebben om over te steken door het verkeer van de andere richting. De echte klim is eigenlijk maar 2 km lang. Het klimmen begint pas na 12 km en op km 14 al gedaan

Avoid this climb and take the Route de Lispach from La Bresse. This will take you to Col des Feignes in a quieter AND more beautiful setting. From Col des Feignes the traffic gets very busy and cycling is less pleasant.

Mijd deze klim en neem de Route de Lispach vanuit La Bresse. Deze brengt je naar Col des Feignes in een rustigere én mooiere omgeving. Vanaf Col des Feignes wordt het verkeer zeer druk en is het minder aangenaam fietsen.

Busy road, but good road surface as a result. The scenery is beautiful at times but the climb not really exciting apart from one steep section. The last part is false flat to the top.

Drukke weg, maar daardoor wel goed wegdek. De omgeving is met vlagen mooi maar de beklimming niet echt spannend op een steil stukje na. Het laatste deel is vals plat naar de top.

I cycled the last part of this climb after going past Lac de longmer to avoid the busy col de la schlucht from Geradmer. So as Royaldinho points out after the turn-off. Then this climb is quite tough with 8-9% and a stretch of 10% but hardly any traffic and that makes it nice cycling. A relief when you then join the road at the top. Not in terms of traffic but great to pace again on the outer sheet.

Ik heb het laatste deel gefietst van deze beklimming nadat ik langs Lac de longmer ben gegaan om de drukke col de la schlucht vanuit Geradmer te ontwijken. Dus zoals Royaldinho aangeeft na de afslag. Dan is deze klim best pittig met 8-9% en een stukkie 10% maar nauwelijks verkeer en dat maakt het fijn fietsen. Een verademing als je dan aansluit boven op de weg naar de top. Niet qua verkeer maar heerlijk weer op het buitenblad tempo maken.

Fairly easy, but long climb. You ride on the main road from La Bresse to La Schlucht and that means there is quite a lot of traffic. After 12 km of easy pedalling, after the exit to Gerardmer, it suddenly gets a lot harder. This lasts for a few km, after which you can calmly cycle on to the ski station of La Schlucht.

Vrij eenvoudige, maar lange klim. Je rijdt over de doorgaande weg van La Bresse naar La Schlucht en dat betekent dat er aardig wat verkeer is. Na 12 km rustig peddelen wordt het, na de afslag Gerardmer, opeens wel een stuk lastiger. Dat duurt een paar km, waarna je rustig door kunt fietsen naar het skistation La Schlucht.
