Tips from the Community
Unlike the Blochmont, which crosses the same ridge just a little further on, this road from Wolschwiller is considerably more challenging. After a gentle start, the route climbs relatively steeply through the narrow valley. A stream flows to the right, while beautiful rock formations are often visible to the left. At the top, near the unmistakable 'Lange Matte' (Long Meadow), the terrain levels out again, and soon you're at the top.

The French and European National Cycleway is a great cycleway winding along side of the Rhine Rhone Canal with very little climbing, for those who do not like to climb. However those who are climbing shy, must be aware of the wind in this area. A lot of the locks still have the former lock man’s house which adds a bit of charm to every lock. One is never alone on this route as there is a constant passing of bicycles, both leisure and racing bikes.

The current parish church of Oltingue was built between 1827 and 1831 in late classicist style. Striking features include the triangular pediment above the round-arched portal and the Callinet organ from 1843, which is still in use. Together with the presbytery and the former school, the church forms a well-preserved village ensemble from the Louis-Philippe period. The church replaced an older mother church outside the village.

The Écluse d’Eglingen is a small, active lock on the Canal du Rhône au Rhin, near the village of Eglingen in the Sundgau region. This spot is popular with cyclists due to its quiet location along the 'EuroVelo 6' and regional cycle routes. The lock is surrounded by greenery and offers a bench and shade, but no facilities.

@Koblinator regarding main roads: yes, but it must be made very clear that the French 1. consider and respect cyclists more than the Swiss (in my experience) and 2. therefore always drive very generously around them (changing lanes to the left). After 17 years of racing, constantly on the Swiss-French border, my clear conclusion is...F = Tour de France country...

A nice road offering with a few small bumps but nothing to impact ones speed. Enjoy the beautiful Alsatian scenery and architecture along the way.
