A very nice, steep climb through the vineyards above Soultz. The road is relatively good except for the last section where the surface is damaged. There's a view of the Alsace plain from the summit.... read more

A very nice, steep climb through the vineyards above Soultz. The road is relatively good except for the last section where the surface is damaged. There's a view of the Alsace plain from the summit.

Très belle montée très pentue dans les vignes dominant Soultz. La route est relativement bonne sauf la dernière partie dont le revêtement est abîmé. Il y a une vue sur la plaine d'Alsace au sommet.
