ヴェークシャイトの峠・トップ20

This pass is pleasant to ride up the Moselle. You only have to pedal hard for the last few hundred meters. You can - and should - refresh yourself at the source of the Moselle shortly beforehand. You will be rewarded with a long, but also busy, descent into Alsace.

The Col de Bussang is a 731 m high pass in the Vosges. The pass is located 8.4 km northeast of the Ballon d'Alsace between the communities of Bussang in the west and Urbès in the east. The border between Lorraine and Alsace runs 200 meters west of the pass. National Road 66 runs over the pass (Wikipedia).

From Soultz: Very nice climb. The road surface is great, runs smoothly and you mainly drive through a shady forest with the occasional glimpse through the trees. Few cars encountered, at the end a beautiful meadow and then at the top you can continue to the Grand Ballon.

Arrived at the top via the national road. Thank you, that was enough.

Four streets come together here.

A treat from the Thann Valley. Beautiful asphalt, a clear view of the Grand Balloon 🎈 in the first bends and accessible percentages. Perfect !

We, the Kemnather Land team, also tortured ourselves like crazy ;-) on our 4-day tour to Lörrach. It was nice!

The approach from Bitschwiller-lès-Thann has an elevation gain of 400 meters over 6.2 kilometers. A maximum gradient of 13%. But it is relatively uneven, so it is not that easy to ride.
