Good way to take the ridge road from Gerardmer. No Grosse Pierre, no busier Sapois and relatively short.

Downhill did see a prohibition sign saying something to the effect that only 'entitled people' are allowed to drive on this road. Maybe only at certain hours. I don't know. I assumed that 'cyclists' are entitled here. So that makes the slope pleasantly quiet. The climb is a mostly a +10％'er, so fine fodder for a bit of a cyclist.
Afterwards, the wonderfully fast and long descent towards Sapois awaits...
Goeie manier om de heuvelrug weg van Gerardmer te nemen. Geen Grosse Pierre, geen drukkere Sapois en relatief kort.
Wel pittig, maar niet onoverkomelijk.
Beneden wel een verbodsbord gezien met iets dat alleen 'rechthebbenden' mogen over deze weg rijden. Misschien enkel op bepaalde uren. Ik weet het niet. Ik ging er van uit dat 'fietsers ' hier wel rechthebbenden zijn. Dat maakt de helling dus aangenaam rustig. De klim is een vooral een +10％'er, dus prima voer voor een beetje fietser.
Nadien wacht je de heerlijk snelle en lange afdaling richting Sapois...
You turn into a dark green and cool forest and may immediately pull out your small leaf. Until the summit, you will need it. Fortunately, other road users are almost non-existent on this climb. In a village it pulls open with the summit back among the trees. You will find this alternation between forest and open stretches on many climbs here. In any case, the contrast with the busy roads in and around Gérardmer is great.
Je draait een donkergroen en koel bos in en mag meteen je kleine blad tevoorschijn halen. Tot de top zul je die wel nodig hebben. Gelukkig zijn andere weggebruikers op deze klim bijna non-existent. In een dorp trekt het open met de top weer tussen de bomen. Die afwisseling tussen bos en open stukken kom je hier op veel beklimmingen tegen. Het contrast met de drukke wegen in en rond Gérardmer is in ieder geval groot.
