Firm and wooded climb to a very nice viewpoint at the top. The road is not in great condition, by German standards. But we are used to worse in Belgium.

The section of the climb before the turn-off to the Hochblauen has very poor tarmac. At the top, beautiful views of the Vosges mountains and the Rhine valley.
