Route des Crêtes

Highlight • Other

The Route de Cretes is definitely recommended! The route leads along the Vogesenkamm without any major inclines and offers up to shorter sections in the forest constantly great views west into the Vosges. Since it was originally created for military reasons, there are rarely views to the east towards the Rhine valley, but it is compensated by blooming mountain meadows. Since the route does not have traffic significance, you will be spared from load traffic, but the excursion traffic on nice weekends is sometimes quite lively.
The road quality is generally good.

Apparently the most famous pass in the Vosges. Pleasant climb, but some traffic. You must have "done" it. It's OK, but not a pass pearl.

Tunnel under the rock

Shortly before the Col de la Schlucht you cross an impressive rock landscape from Münster. Take a short break is worth it!

Approach the Col de lagorge "from above" - but you still have to go up, in this case from Soultzeren via Col du Wettstein, first with an even 5 to 7% incline, then a short 1.5 km "rest" before crossing small connecting paths and briefly 17% over the Lac Noir and Lac Blanc again more leisurely up to the Col …

The many writings from the fans on the streets didn't make the climbs so exhausting and you still had enough time to read due to the slower pace 😉. The Beau Rivage campsite on the outskirts of …
