Description

"Le Tour de la Hingrie"
Level: Very difficult
Distance: 26.9 km
Cumulative ascent: 917m
The most difficult circuit in the Val d'Argent MTB-FFC area. After an athletic ascent to La Chambrette, from where you'll enjoy a superb view, you'll ride through picturesque places steeped in legendary history. Numerous small heritage features, such as calvaries, will enhance your journey. Witnesses to the former border between the German Empire and France from 1870 to 1918, several milestones line the ridges from the Col de la Ralaine to the Col de la Hingrie. The Col de Fouchy marks the boundary between the sandstone Vosges to the east and the granite Vosges to the west. For the experienced mountain biker, this circuit offers a wonderful feeling of isolation far from the beaten track. The most courageous will have no regrets about completing the small loop on circuit 13, which takes them to the Chapelle de la Goutte.
Rombach-le-Franc is home to a large number of old Vosges farmhouses, whose pediments and carriage doors are typical of Lorraine architecture.
