It's the most beautiful and interesting climb from a sporting point of view, among the climbs of the Champ du Feu and therefore of the Bas-Rhin. Apart from the first few kilometres on a gentle slope, the gradient is a steady 7％. The road is in good condition. The first half is fairly quiet. After the D57-D425 junction (near the Kreuzweg pass), the road becomes busier (but it's largely bearable). ... read more

It's the most beautiful and interesting climb from a sporting point of view, among the climbs of the Champ du Feu and therefore of the Bas-Rhin.
Apart from the first few kilometres on a gentle slope, the gradient is a steady 7％.
The road is in good condition. The first half is fairly quiet. After the D57-D425 junction (near the Kreuzweg pass), the road becomes busier (but it's largely bearable).

C'est la montée la plus belle et la plus intéressante d'un point de vue sportif, parmi les ascension du Champ du Feu et donc du Bas-Rhin.
Hormis les premiers km en pente douce, la pente est régulière à 7％.
La route est en bon état. La première moitié est assez calme. Après le croisement D57-D425 (près du col du Kreuzweg), la route est plus fréquentée (mais c'est largement supportable).

Nice and steady long climb. After Breitenbach the gradient is very steady at around 7-8 percent. Also some good views when you get to look through the trees.

The hardest side of the Champ du Feu, as far as I am concerned, not to be missed. Again, nowhere more than 10％ I think so a good test of fitness and cadence.

De moeilijkste kant van de Champ du Feu, wat mij betreft niet te missen. Ook hier geldt nergens meer dan 10％ denk ik dus een goede test van de conditie en de cadans. Altijd lekker in het bos en mooie uitzichten op de top.

Certainly the most difficult side, or at least the most regular after Breintenbach.
Bring water if it's hot, as it faces due south.
Very nice downhill.
Unfortunately, it can be used on nice weekends (motorbikes...).

Certainement le coté le plus difficile, en tout cas le plus régulier après Breintenbach.
Prévoir de l’eau lorsqu’il fait chaud car il exposé plein sud.
Très sympa en descente.
Malheureusement ça peut circuler les beaux week-ends (les motos…)
