Great Climb with new tarmac. Although steep and not easy it's still very enjoyable.

The French National Cemetery in Moosch was built between 1918 and 1921. 594 soldiers are buried there. This cemetery was built into the terrace of the mountainside.

A nice climb on a quiet road. But there are repeated steep sections up to 14%. The gradient is actually never below 8%.

Something like this probably only exists in France. A perfectly paved bike path to the top of a mountain pass. The climb here is closed to motorized traffic, but it's quite challenging. For long stretches, the gradients are between 13 and 15%. In places, even up to 17 and 18%. The upper part of the route is entirely through forest, so there are no views. But that doesn't matter; you're busy with yourself anyway.

A beautiful, not too challenging climb on a wide, well-paved road. More views from the south than from the north.
