There's absolutely no difficulty in this climb, which is impossible in name only. You just need to know how to manage your gears and it's a breeze.

Idyllically situated at the end of the Lützeltal.

This former mother church of Oltingue and three disappeared villages dates from the 13th and 14th centuries. The location is idyllic: surrounded by fields, an old cemetery and often with storks on the roof in the spring. Inside you will discover surprisingly well (?) preserved wall paintings, including a rare representation of the sacrifice of Melchisedech and a Last Supper from 1741. In the choir you will also find a wall tabernacle and a niche for liturgical objects, silent witnesses of medieval rituals. The Gothic arched windows and the neo-Gothic vault are reminders of later restorations, while archaeological excavations in 1989 revealed traces of older sanctuaries and tombs from the early Middle Ages. simple but full of character.

For a time it was home to a pilgrimage to the Virgin Mary; next to the chapel there was a hermitage since the 18th century, which disappeared in the 20th century; the old statue of the chapel is now in the church and in the presbytery

Biederthal Castle is located above the village of Burg in Leimental. It is privately owned and not open to the public, but it is still an impressive sight from the outside. The large castle complex dominates the village.

The Blochmont is the perfect Sunday ride pass for a tour through Alsace. Approaching from the north, you'll almost feel like you're in the Tour de France, as the gentle gradient means you can climb really fast. Enjoyable ascents alternate between forest and sunny sections. Reaching the farm at the top means you've completed the climb, though it's certainly not a job; this climb is pure enjoyment.
