コアンシュ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

Col de Mandray (694 m) is a quiet and steady climb in the Vosges, ideal for a relaxing ride or as a warm-up for more difficult cols. From Fraize you climb over 4.5 km with an average gradient of 4.2%. The road is well passable, with little traffic and beautiful views over the Meurthe valley. A hidden gem for those who love quiet, natural climbs.

If you are coming from the direction of the Col de Bonhomme or the Route de Cretes, this is the best alternative to the busy yellow road. Going the other way... phew 😁

Instead of driving down the Col de Bonhomme on the yellow road, there is an option to drive into the "forest" further up the Route de Cretes in the bend. You drive on tarred roads through the forest to the Col de Mandray. Simply great...

the descent on the silver valley is magical to do at full speed, good tour

La Fontanelle - military cemetery and battlefield Here are buried some French soldiers who lost their lives on the battlefield of Hill 627, as the military name goes, defending France against the German invaders in the First World War. There are several paths here, including around the old battlefield. The shortest way is about 600 meters long and also suitable for wheelchairs. There are some information boards with photos from the period 1914/15, when a cruel trench warfare took place here, which also killed three hamlets that were never rebuilt. At the car park there are large information boards in three languages (French, English and German). Ancient trenches and fortified positions can still be found throughout the area. Unfortunately, also ammunition that did not detonate and can therefore pose a great danger to the curious person. Take care of your children and leave any finds lying around. Here is some information in German: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Fontenelle

Road that winds at the bottom of a very deep valley where the sun has trouble penetrating. This place is called the "Glacière" because the almost total absence of sunshine and the mountain stream fed by very cold water create a very cold area that can surprise walkers.

The Petite Meurthe valley is very beautiful. The road crosses hills and woods. The climb is fairly steady with steeper sections towards the top.

Peaceful climb with very beautiful views. Be careful, however, some motorists tend to drive very fast in this pass.
