I was finally able to do it! Very nice climb through the woods from the start to the summit, but the slope hurts! the first wall takes its toll on the legs, and the part at 14％ finishes them off for good, this straight section seems endless, but from my low level I'm proud to have made it to the top! There are several signs from Wasselonne on how to find this climb. The pavement is in perfect condition and looks as if it's been resurfaced very recently. However, if you go down towa... read more

A short but demanding climb with steep gradients on a beautiful forest road with little traffic.

If you are into gravel, don't hesitate to push on to the Pandours pass via the Schneetal and Langenbank forest roads.

Montée courte mais exigeante avec de beaux pourcentages sur une très belle route en forêt peu fréquenté.

Si vous êtes en gravel n hésitez pas à poussez jusqu'au col des pandours par la route forestière du schneetal puis du langenbank.

There are several signs from Wasselonne on how to find this climb.
The pavement is in perfect condition and looks as if it's been resurfaced very recently. However, if you go down towards Cosswiller, be very careful, the start is well tarmacked but you are soon surprised by the transition to a very bad road.

J'ai enfin pu la faire ! très belle montée à travers les bois du début jusqu'au sommet, mais que la pente fait mal ! le premier mur entame les jambes, et la partie à 14％ les achève définitivement, cette ligne droit parait interminable, mais de mon petit niveau je suis fier d'être arrivé au sommet !
Plusieurs panneaux sont disponibles à partir de Wasselonne pour sur pour trouver cette montée.
Concernant la chaussée, parfait état, elle a l'air d'avoir été refait très récemment. Par contre, si vous descendez vers Cosswiller, faites très attention, le début est bien bitumé mais on est vite surpris par la transition ensuite sur une chaussée très mauvaise.
