ボルヴィラーでののおすすめグラベルライド

Every wine village has its own special charm. And this year the grapes taste sweeter than ever :-)

Steady climb.👍

Great climb - a must for every road cyclist

At the top of the hill at the crossroads you have a parking lot and a nice stone picnic table.

The Château du Herrenfluh is a medieval ruin at an altitude of 858 metres. It was built in 1312 by Johan von Sankt Amarin, nicknamed Nordwind, and served as a lookout post for the princes-abbatons of Murbach. Due to its strategic location, the castle offered a panoramic view over Alsace, all the way to the foothills of the Jura. In 1376, it was captured by English mercenaries and later, in 1468, destroyed by the Swiss. During the First World War, the site was again used as a French observation post. Today, some ruins are still visible, and volunteers are working to preserve the remains. It is an interesting historical site along the Route des Crêtes.

A very beautiful, narrow road through the forest with a pleasant incline. Very secluded, with hardly any traffic (at least during the week in early June 2025).

Nice part of the climb with most of the scenic views, but also among the busiest on the street. In the last meters towards the peak, you will find an annoying accumulation of insects bothering you! Probably more lucky in fall or winter!

Great road indeed (still in 2025). Traffic is fairly low on this side!
