3rd stage – in and out of the Grand Balloon

Don’t know why I’ve never been on the Grand Ballon up to now – this veritable high mountain in the High Vosges stretching up from the Rhine Valley. With a long forerun where I did part of the Alsace wineroute in reverse to last year I was happy to climb up.

Dates: 141 km; 1860 altitude meters; 20 to 29 degrees, above 1000 meters comfortable 23; light NE wind turning to E

Flowered wine route.
Not to forget the houses.
Mr G served nice cycling paths through the wineyards.
Summerwine observed by the castle, you see it?
Here it is – on behalf of the lots of castles protecting the wine.
Meanwhile in the region of birth of Albert Schweizer – physician with supportive engagement in Africa, and musician (see the violin key).
Climbing the Grand Vosges with indication service for cyclists.
Arrived at some time.
With view to the Rhine Valley.

Looping up.
Callow la vita – the Grand Ballon.
