Markstein

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Magnificent viewpoint on the Route des Crêtes, located at the crossroads of the east-west and north-south roads, near the Grand Ballon.

A renowned farm inn is located nearby, ideal for a lunch break between two cycling trips.

At the Hartmannwillerkopf one arrives at the memorial for the soldiers who died on both sides in the First World War.
Anyone who lingers here for a moment and takes off their helm may recognize what a European Union has in store for their countries.

Climbing the Col d'Oderen from Kruth
