술츠마트‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 산길

A challenge on a mountain bike without a motor. But the downhill trails are great. It's worth it 👍🏻

Magnificent views of the valleys and the opposite mountain ranges of the Vosges and fantastic vistas across the Rhine plain to the Black Forest and, in good weather, even to the snow-capped peaks of the Alps!

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.

The way up is full of street paintings from the last Tour de France stages that went up there. It's a special feeling even without all the extras and I can recommend everyone to try the climb. Once you're at the top, you have the choice between different descents. I opted for the gravel descent, which was an additional physical challenge as it was very steep and rocky. There is a lovely mountain pasture on the way down where you can recharge your batteries with blueberry cake, coffee and non-alcoholic beer (Ferme Auberge Strohberg). It's also a good place to go if you've "forgotten" your bars and gel.

A worthwhile destination by bike and a nice starting point for hikes.

Belongs on every bucket list. In good weather with extraordinary visibility.

Very windy but great view

Compared to its big brother, the Petit Ballon is a little more remote, but has less traffic and is just as scenic. As with the Grand Ballon, you don't drive directly over the summit, but rather over a pass a little below.
