Small pass with even gradients around 5％.
Wissembourg is very touristy, but the climb up to this pass isn't very busy (at least not on a Saturday morning in mid-April).
The road is in perfect condition and the scenery is very pleasant. The pass is located in a forest.

Pleasant to drive, relatively even. There is traffic, but it is bearable - depending on the time of day. Rush hour traffic during the week, tourists and motorbikes at the weekend.
