What a wealth so early in the morning. Temperature still pleasant, good road surface, virtually no traffic and a wonderful climb. Enjoy! The descent that follows is also great!

A shady climb with a gentle gradient at the start but a fairly steep ramp at the entrance to the village of Bourbach-le-haut. There's not too much traffic at the start of the climb, but there's more when you reach the Hundsruck road. It is best to do the climb uphill, as there is a series of sharp bends on the way to the summit.
