This section of the cycle path that crosses the Bruche Valley is one of the most beautiful. The landscape is completely unobstructed, allowing you to admire the first Vosges mountains. All this while cycling on a very high-quality surface.

The kitchen had already closed at 3 p.m. on Sunday afternoon, so there were no hot or cold food left. Only cake and ice cream, but that was good. 💲💲Cash only. 💲💲

The climb begins at the exit of the village of Russ with a very easy slope to tackle. A first flat area appears before the road rises again at Schwarzbach. It is then off for 3.4 km on a beautiful shaded road. The reward is discovered at the summit when you arrive in the beautiful village of Grandelbruch. For the more courageous, it is possible to continue with the climb of Hobhul (to be taken at the town hall) for a total climb of 10.5 km / 480 D+ (starting from the exit of Russ).

The former town hall of Schirmeck on the market square was built in 1864. Today, the building houses clubs and the media library.

A very large, representative building is the town hall of Schirmeck directly on the Bruche.

The Church of St. George in Schirmeck was built on the site of a chapel dedicated to St. Sebastian. The tower was constructed between 1776 and 1785 in the neoclassical style. The nave and choir were not completely rebuilt in the neo-Gothic style until 1846.
