A wide, quiet road with a good surface. There are no difficulties on this 11km climb with its many flat areas. Unlike the ascent via Romanswiller, this route is clear (out of the forest), and offers great views over the valleys and the Dabo rock (at La Hoube).... read more

Route large et calme avec un bon revêtement.
Aucune difficulté pour cette montée de 11km avec de nombreux replats.
Contrairement à la montée par Romanswiller, cet itinéraire est dégagé (hors de la forêt), et offre de belles vue sur les vallons et le rocher du Dabo (au niveau de La Hoube).
