A treat from the Thann Valley. Beautiful asphalt, a clear view of the Grand Balloon 🎈 in the first bends and accessible percentages. Perfect !

We, the Kemnather Land team, also tortured ourselves like crazy ;-) on our 4-day tour to Lörrach. It was nice!

The approach from Bitschwiller-lès-Thann has an elevation gain of 400 meters over 6.2 kilometers. A maximum gradient of 13%. But it is relatively uneven, so it is not that easy to ride.

"Torment yourself, you sow!" Udo Bölt's helper is said to have yelled at his team captain Jan Ullrich on this rather second-rate pass at the 1997 Tour de France. It can no longer be determined exactly whether this is exactly the case, but at least the name of the pass "Hundsruck" actually fits the saying quite well and the website quaeldich.de, which has already been mentioned in another comment, also fits this cycling myth quite well.
