Cimetière Militaire Français du Wettstein The Cimetière Militaire Français du Wettstein, located on the Col du Wettstein near Orbey, is an impressive French military cemetery from the First World War. It contains the remains of 3,535 French soldiers, mainly mountain chasseurs, who died during the fierce fighting at Le Linge in 1915. Many of them are buried in two ossuaries. The site is marked by a monumental cross with the inscription "PAX" and a bronze statue of a dying soldier, which gives the whole a subdued and poignant atmosphere. This necropolis, also known as the “cemetery of the chasseurs”, is a silent witness to the horrors of war and a place of reflection in the middle of the mountain landscape.

Be sure to stop by the Maison Ferber bakery. Delicious jams from a small copper kettle, true fruit bombs, superb pastries, and delicious daily specials (except for house sale).

It's an ideal starting point for hikes to the Grand Ballon, the Storkenkopf, and many more. Here you can enjoy a hearty meal before or after a hike.

On this section, the cycle path is more open, offering superb views of the valley. You really get a sense of how green the surroundings are. It's a particularly pleasant part of this cycle route.

To do, the landscapes are magnificent, the road is good. Nevertheless prefer the off-season, the road is very busy in summer.

The pleasure bonus of Platzerwasel...

I should have read the reviews before going on August 15th! Traffic is just awful. Choose your day carefully to climb the pass
