A beautiful climb, except for the less interesting start
You can make a diversion via the villages of Wildersbach, Neuviller la Roche and Natzwiller, where the roads are quieter and the views even more beautiful.

Une belle montée, sauf le début moins intéressant
On peut faire un détour par les villages de Wildersbach, Neuviller la roche et Natzwiller, avec des routes plus calmes et des points de vue encore plus beaux

Nice gentle climb (on a Saturday afternoon in August). Mainly through the forest, but with regular nice views of the surroundings. The first 2.5 km are easy, but after that it is almost constantly 7 to 8％, so there is little opportunity to catch your breath.

Mooie rustige klim (op zaterdagmiddag in augustus). Voornamelijk door het bos, maar met regelmatig leuk zicht op de omgeving. De eerste 2,5 km zijn eenvoudig, maar daarna is het vrijwel constant 7 a 8％, waardoor er weinig gelgenheid is om even op adem te komen.
