Montée boisée qui conduit à la ferme auberge du Molkenrain où il y a une belle vue sur le Vieil Armand et la plaine. La montée est régulière et la circulation presque nulle . Attention à quelques trous et à la route étroite dans la descente. On peut rejoindre la montée du Molkenrain par Uffholtz en empruntant la route des crêtes.
