Unlike the Blochmont, which crosses the same ridge just a little further on, this road from Wolschwiller is considerably more challenging. After a gentle start, the route climbs relatively steeply through the narrow valley. A stream flows to the right, while beautiful rock formations are often visible to the left. At the top, near the unmistakable 'Lange Matte' (Long Meadow), the terrain levels out again, and soon you're at the top.

I can only agree with Mattia: it's a short stretch of road through fields, but otherwise completely unspectacular, not even worth a tip...

Biederthal is often reached by car from Basel / the Birstal valley, but this point here is nothing special in itself.

Before arriving at the Rail Trail, one is surrounded by magnificent half-timbered typical Alsatian houses from 100 years ago. The road is in need of some repairs.

The current parish church of Oltingue was built between 1827 and 1831 in late classicist style. Striking features include the triangular pediment above the round-arched portal and the Callinet organ from 1843, which is still in use. Together with the presbytery and the former school, the church forms a well-preserved village ensemble from the Louis-Philippe period. The church replaced an older mother church outside the village.

Nice asphalted cycleway with mostly smooth surface, once in a while a few bumps created by the roots of trees below the surface. The only place where one must slow down and look where one is riding, is 1 km before Altkirch which looks to have been damaged from floods creating potholes and broken asphalt but this is the only real obstacle on this nicely well kept cycleway.

This cycling route for the most part is in very good condition, in some places a bit in need of repair from the roots of trees pushing up the asphalt, at times creating an uneven bumpy surface. The only place where one needs to pay attention is near the last 1 km before Altkrich where it seems the proximity of the cycleway to the stream has been damaged by floods, which has made the surface rough and a lot of potholes, other than that, one can really ride well on this cycleway.

Fresh public water fountains are sometimes scarce in France. A big thank you to the city officials of Hirtzbach for creating this public fountain. A perfect stop to tank up your water bottles and a lot of shade in the summertime.
