메츨렌-마리아스테인‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪11‬개의 산길

The Blochmont is the perfect Sunday ride pass for a tour through Alsace. Approaching from the north, you'll almost feel like you're in the Tour de France, as the gentle gradient means you can climb really fast. Enjoyable ascents alternate between forest and sunny sections. Reaching the farm at the top means you've completed the climb, though it's certainly not a job; this climb is pure enjoyment.

Beautiful rest area with panorama

As soon as you see the farm, the ascent is behind you, because coming from either side, the farm is on a relatively flat section at the pass. You hardly notice the pass itself, at some point it just goes down again and you realize that you're already over it...

Depending on which direction you are coming from, you will experience a gentle 3% grade downhill or uphill. It's a fairly pleasant climb to do because the slope is relatively easy. In the other direction, it is a beautiful descent that can be traversed quickly.

The Challpass is an unspectacular curve with a parking lot or postbus turning point on a busy main road. Nevertheless far and wide one of the few possibilities to cross the blue chain in north-south direction or vice versa.

actually more of a gentle hill than a real pass, but as the only transition far and wide from north to south over the foothills of the blue, it is a frequently traveled route. The next options for road bikes are relatively far to the west via Lucelle and to the east with the Challpass, which is a "real" but also very busy pass. With the two possible routes directly from the north of Raedersdorf or via Wolschwiller from north-east to Kiffis, you can also drive an attractive north-north variant without going down into the Lützeltal.

Beautiful small pass without much traffic, can be combined with the Ammonitenweg between Oberütti and the route from Kleinlützel via the Rämel to the Challpass / Blauen as a natural and low-traffic alternative on the approach to the Blauen.

The Blochmont is a very gentle transition coming from the north. The approach from the east via Kiffis is more demanding. On the south side it goes down into the valley and then either straight ahead up again, to the left in the direction of Laufen or to the right in the direction of Lucelle.
