비스바흐 최고의 사이클링 경로

From here, you have a truly magnificent view and can reward yourself with a light meal at the summit restaurant. Unfortunately, the hotel at the summit is currently closed. (For about a year.) As of September 2025

Worth a stop not only when it rains: Refuge "Pierre des Trois Bans"

The Col du Louchpach (978 m) is a lesser-known but charming mountain pass in the Vosges, located along the Route des Crêtes. The climb is relatively short but tough, and leads through a quiet, wooded area with little traffic – ideal for cyclists who want to avoid the crowds of the larger cols. The pass forms a beautiful connection between the Meurthe and Weiss valleys and is often part of longer tours towards Lac Blanc or the Col du Calvaire. The ascent via the Rudlin road is particularly atmospheric: narrow, shady and with an authentic mountain feel.

Fraize – Gateway to the Vosges A quiet village in the Meurthe valley, ideal starting point for climbs such as Col du Mandray. Fraize breathes history and nature, with charming streets, an old church and memories of WWI and WWII.

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.

The Col du Louchpach, or Louchbach, or Louschbach (978 m) is a rather inconspicuous Vosges mountain pass that, like many other passes in the Vosges Mountains, would have gone unnoticed if it weren't for the signpost. It is located in the northern section of the Route des Crêtes on the D148, about 3.5 km from the higher mountain lake Lac Blanc. There is a stand on the pass road where cheese is occasionally sold.

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...
