A bit narrow but good surface and very scenic with lots of nice curves in a beautiful area, no towns or villages just unspoilt forest, highly recommended. Ridden on a Monday afternoon, so I imagine that at weekends that it might be popular with tourists
Mixed selection of fast corners and straights with a couple of hairpins thrown in. A couple of roundabouts and housed sections on this route so take care.
Excellent fun road with mostly good surface and lots of nice consistent corners. Traffic was low on a Monday afternoon in March when I rode but there were lots of tourist amenities which might indicate otherwise in peak season. Great views and picturesque villages
Simply Superb section of flat well surfaced corners to be enjoyed. The road was closed at the end due to roadworks when I rode this but that meant little traffic and so even more enjoyment for me :) I saw a guy on a Monster also had the same idea!
typical scenic and twisty alsation mountain road between picturesque village and one of the top local attractions. beware of tourist traffic and cyclists during holiday times
Leaving the Picturesque village of Oberhaslach the road starts off quite easy but then begins to climb more steeply with excellent corner combinations and plenty of places to enjoy a nice view. Forest surroundings very nice, little run off and some sharpish drop off into trees keeps it sensible. Exc...
Good road with some tight corners and consistent grippyish surface (it is abrasive but offers consistent good grip) A nice run down to the lake and much quieter than some of the other passes.
A short section of the Famous 'route des Vins d'Alsace'. Great scenary through vineyard, good surface, although passing can be difficult because of many solid white lines and lots of campers in high season (therefore avoid during these times). Otherwise good.
The Western section close to Munster is fairly ordinary, the best part is the rise up into the mountains to the Col de la Schluct. If you're heading into France from Southern Germany, this is one of the best ways to do it! It also links nicely to another route, Gerardmer to La Bresse over the Ba...
Great run up the hill through the forest, good surface with a good variety of medium/fast corners and a couple of hairpins on the way up to the Monastery.
Spectacular views and some good corners (these would be rated as excellent in most other regions, but here, the standard is so high). Visibility can be restricted bycloudsd and watch out for camper vans. Road surface ok but starts off a bit patchy.
Good hairpins running up the hill to Viel Armand (A french war memorial cemetary on the top of a mountain), although there are about 3 hairpins which change to cobblestone surface rather oddly (could be very dangerous in the wet). The descent can be a bit tricky because of paint on road and bumps so...
This is a wonderful ride through beautiful scenery. This part of France is no on most peoples touring agenda and is, perhaps, all the better for it. Explore this whole area, it's fun.
The road first rises up giving great views and lots of hairpins, then drops over a peak and has a faster section of bends on the other side. Popular with bikers and drivers.
Narrow with villages at the St. Die end, then climbs up and becomes an excellent mini-mountain road with view across open landscapes and some nice corners
Quite fast minor road with low traffic and mostly ok surface, On the later sections there are some repairs to the road. Some quite nice open straighter sections and a few corners thrown in to keep you amused :)
It can be difficult to pass if you get stuck behind someone on this stretch, so avoid during busy periods. Otherwise excellent, just like a race track i.e. smooth, flowing and level with a good surface.
