A really difficult and demanding climb, the gradients are high and very regular, no let-up possible until the top, only the last few metres are a little less steep. The road is quiet and shaded, no view as it is in the forest. possibility to extend the climb to the Bruchberg pass (very nice view in this area)... read more

This is a climb that will give you no respite, with steep gradients.
The climb seems interminable but remains regular in its difficulty, a word of advice: climb at your own pace.
The road is shaded in the forest, so vehicle traffic can be heavy at weekends.

For gravel cyclists, it is possible to extend the climb towards the Col de Bruchberg and then the Col de Frantzluhr to reach the Champ du Messin, from where you can return to Obernai or Barr via the Rothlach or descend to the Bruche valley via the Champ du Feu.

Une montée qui ne vous laissera aucun répit avec des pourcentages importants.
l’ascension parait interminable mais reste régulière dans la difficulté,un conseil montez à votre rythme.
La route est ombragée en forêt,le passage de véhicule peut être important le weekend.

Pour les cyclistes en gravel possibilité de prolonger la montée par le col de Bruchberg puis col de Frantzluhr pour rejoindre le Champ du Messin,de là possibilité de revenir sur Obernai ou Barr par la Rothlach ou de redescendre vers la vallée de la Bruche via le Champ du feu ou Natzwiller.

Une montée vraiment difficile et exigeante, les pourcentages sont importants et très réguliers, aucune relâche possible jusqu'au sommet, seuls les derniers mètres sont un peu moins raide.
La route est calme et ombragée, pas de vue car dans la forêt.
possibilité de prolonger la montée vers le col du Bruchberg (très belle vue dans ce secteur)
