As indicated below, a beautiful climb. Winding through villages with great views of Münster, the other side of the valley and the peaks of the Route des Crêtes (the restaurant on the Hohneck is just visible in the distance).

I had prepared myself for a tough last stretch of 11%, but I think it was actually less steep than indicated (9 %, max 10% it said on the Garmin).

In short: highly recommended

Zoals hieronder al aangegeven een prachtige beklimming. Slingerend door dorpjes met een prachtig uitzicht op Münster, de overzijde van het dal en de toppen van de Route des Crêtes (het restaurant op de Hohneck is in de verte net zichtbaar).

Ik had me voorbereid op een zwaar laatste stuk van 11%, maar dat was volgens mij in werkelijkheid minder steil dan aangegeven (9 %, max 10% stond er op de Garmin).

Kortom: aanrader

Superb climb, made at the end of February on a fine day, the most beautiful to date.
There was very little traffic, the road was in relatively good condition, and on the way up (because you don't go as fast as on the way down), you can enjoy and admire some superb 360° scenery. However, the last 2 kilometres are spent in the forest.
The gradient is not too steep, with 2 or 3 places where you can recover.

Superbe montée, effectuée fin février par un jour de beau temps, la plus belle faite à ce jour.
Peu de trafic, la route est relativement en bon état, et lors de la montée (parce l'on va moins vite qu'en descente), on peut profiter et admirer de superbes paysages à 360°. Par contre les 2 derniers kilomètres se passent dans la forêt.
La pente n'est trop raide avec 2, 3 endroits ou l'on peut récupérer.

Nice climb and nice views. At the end of the climb another bit of history about WWI.

Mooie klim en mooie uitzichten. Aan het einde van de beklimming nog een stukje geschiedenis over WWI.

Actually, I just want to underline what all the other cyclists have already shared: just a beautiful climb, with great views. Just do it!

Eigenlijk wil ik alleen maar onderstrepen wat alle andere fietsers al hebben gedeeld: gewoon een prachtige klim, met geweldige uitzichten. Gewoon doen!

A magnificent climb, incredible views all along the way (Munster valley, small and large balloon).
The difficulty is reasonable, it climbs well.
Very quiet during the week.
To be combined with the descent from Wettstein to Soulzeren to enjoy the view and the laces.

Une montée magnifique, des vues incroyable tout au long de la montée (vallée de Munster, petit et grand ballon).
La difficulté est raisonnable, ça se monte bien.
Très calme en semaine.
A combiner avec la descente du Wettstein vers Soulzeren pour encore profiter de la vue et des lacets.

Superb view over the valley, south facing in the first part. After the hotel the trail ends in the forest.

Superbe vue sur la vallée, exposé côté sud dans la première partie. Après l'hôtel passage en forêt pour la fin.

Fine climb to do as first in a Vosges cycling weekend. A real runner. Too bad the weather was grey, otherwise the views would have been fantastic. I didn't notice the steeper part at the end, even though there is only one road. Either the profile is not quite right or I am already in great shape.

Fijne klim om als eerste te doen in een Vogezenfietsweekend. Een echte loper. Jammer dat het grijs weer was, anders waren de uitzichten zeker fantastisch geweest. Van het genoemde steilere stuk op het laatst heb ik niets gemerkt, terwijl er toch echt maar 1 weg is. Of het profiel klopt niet helemaal, of ik ben al in topvorm.

Nice climb with much less cars and motorbikes than many others in the area. Highly recommended to include in your tour! On top is much war history to see. We have made passage to Wetstein and then to Les Lacs to come on routes de cretes.

Mooie beklimming met veel minder auto's en motoren dan veel anderen in de buurt. Een aanrader om op te nemen in je rondje ! Bovenop is veel oorlogshistorie te zien. Wij hebben doorsteek gemaakt naar Wetstein en vervolgens naar Les Lacs om op routes de cretes te komen.

Highly recommended of my Vosges trip! Perfect warm-up for the Petit Ballon, but if I knew what I know now, I would just ride up the Col Du Ligne twice. Wonderful descent towards Munster also via the D48 (Langeren), see photo

Dé aanrader van mijn Vogezen-trip! Perfecte opwarmer voor de Petit Ballon, maar mocht ik weten wat ik nu weet, dan reed ik de Col Du Ligne gewoon 2 maal omhoog. Schitterende afdaling richting Munster ook via de D48 (Langeren), zie foto

One of the most beautiful climbs I did during our vacation. Lots of curves, through some small villages, great views. Fine percentages and a nice climb to really test yourself and to experience real climbing. Actually the top is the Hohrodberg near the German cemetery. The last part to Collet du Linge is free. The Memorial du Linge is worth a visit by the way (reserve an afternoon for this at another time).

Een van de mooiste beklimmingen die ik tijdens onze vakantie deed. Lekker veel bochten, door wat kleine dorpjes, schitterende uitzichten. Fijne percentages en een leuke klim om jezelf echt te testen en om echt klimmen te ervaren. Eigenlijk is de top de Hohrodberg bij de Duitse begraafplaats. Het laatste stukje naar Collet du Linge is gratis. De Memorial du Linge is overigens wel een bezoek waard (trek hier op een ander moment een middag voor uit).

The Collet du Linge was quite tough after 150 km Vosges. Yet the percentages are quite normal and the climb gives you view after view. The asphalt is good, but there are a lot of pebbles. From the start of the climb there are signs telling you how many kilometres you still have to go. There is not much traffic, but if there is, it goes with a bang. Must be part of it ...

De Collet du Linge vond ik nog vrij pittig na 150km Vogezen. Toch zijn de percentages vrij normaal en de klim geeft je onderweg vergezicht na vergezicht cadeau. Het asfalt is goed, wel wat veel kiezels. Vanaf het begin van de klim staan er bordjes die aangeven hoeveel kilometer je nog moet. Verkeer is er niet veel, maar als ze er zijn gaat het wel met een rotgang. Zal er wel bij horen …

Very doable on your first day cycling! The climb is gradual, partly under the trees and the road is quiet.

Prima te doen op je eerste fietsdag! Klim gaat geleidelijk, gaat deels onder de bomen en de weg is rustig.

Personally the most beautiful climb I have done in the Vosges. The road is in good condition, there are not too many people on the roads. The view is clear, which is perfect to admire the valley of Munster during the ascent. You pass through two pretty villages and the slope is not too steep (6-7%) and steady. It's only the last 2 kilometers that are harder with moments at 10% in the woods. The summit is really nice with a beautiful monument at the top.

Personnellement la plus belle montée que j'ai faites dans les Vosges. La route est en bon état, il n'y a pas trop de monde sur les routes. La vue est dégagée, ce qui est parfait pour admirer la vallée de Munster pendant l'ascension. On traverse deux jolis villages et la pente n'est pas trop raide (6-7%) et régulière. Il n'y a que les 2 derniers kilomètres qui sont plus durs avec des moments à 10% dans les bois. Le sommet est vraiment chouette avec un beau monument au sommet.
