Nice climb, forest road without much traffic. Relatively easy apart from the short section at 9％. Unfortunately after the Col de Prayé, the section between it and the Col du Donon is in very poor condition.... read more

Nice climb, forest road without much traffic. Relatively easy apart from the short section at 9％. Unfortunately after the Col de Prayé, the section between it and the Col du Donon is in very poor condition.

Belle montée, route forestière sans grande fréquentation. Relativement facile hormis le petit passage à 9％. Malheureusement après le col de Prayé, la portion entre celui-ci et le col du Donon est en très mauvais état.

Apart from the steep section at the entrance to the forest, which isn't very difficult, it's a lovely route, first of all smothered in forest beside a beautiful river, then a more open road as you reach the Col de Prayé, with beautiful meadows on the right. The stretch from the pass to the Donon is not very pleasant, as the road is very rough.

Hormis la partie raide à l'entrée de la forêt, sans grande difficulté, belle route d'abord étouffée dans la forêt a côté d'une belle rivière, puis route plus ouverte à l'arrivée du col de Prayé avec de beaux prés sur la droite. Le segment du col jusqu'au Donon n'est pas très agréable, route défoncée.

Climbfinder is absolutely right. What a gem. Along a beautiful babbling brook and beautiful forest. And indeed 'hidden' because very quiet. Occasionally 12 or 13％.
Nice to cycle on to the Col du Donon after the highest point of the Prayé and then the beautiful route and not so steep section to Abreschviller.

Climbfinder heeft helemaal gelijk. Wat een juweeltje. Langs een prachtig klaterend beekje en mooi bos. En inderdaad 'verborgen', want erg rustig. Af en toe 12 of 13％.
Mooi om na het hoogste punt van de Prayé door te fietsen naar de Col du Donon en dan de prachtige route en niet zo steile afdeling naar Abreschviller.
