A fresco succinctly depicts the unfinished tunnel that was to allow the railway line to connect Bussang to Urbès. As the work was too costly, it was decided to abandon this project in favor of creating a passage through the pass.

At the pass, the paved Chemin Béry forest road leads to the Col de la Vierge after 2 km and Lac des Corbeaux after 4.5 km. Driving down from the pass towards La Bresse, after 1 km you will reach a fork in the road. Turn right onto the quiet D34 A departmental road, the Route des Américains, which climbs to the Vosges ridge road, the Route des Crêtes. There it joins the Col de Rothenbach with its striking summit. The Route des Américains is 5 km long and has an elevation gain of almost 280 meters.

The route to the Col d'Oderen is beautiful. The Col is perhaps not as well known as many of the others in the region, but it is highly recommended as it is very scenic and easy to ride.

The climb by the old road is really quiet, the descent will be safer by the "new" road
