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.

Lac Blanc Ski Station

Highlight • MTB Park

At the top of the 1100m altitude is this BikePark. He offers varied downhill / singletrack routes. With the road bike he is from many sides super and very low traffic to reach. The pass is snow-free from mid-April to late October (2018 + 2019).

Highlight • Restaurant

Ideally located on the Route des Crêtes, the inn is the perfect place to enjoy a marcaire meal or taste a delicious local blueberry tart during or after a hike on the high stubble hills.
