Ballon d'Alsace
Ballon d'Alsace is a 1247 meter high mountain at the border of Alsace, Lorraine, and Franche-Comté. From its top there is a nice view on the Vosges, the Rhine valley and the Black Forest.
It is also noted as the site of the first official mountain climb in the Tour de France on 10 July 1905. Stage 9 of the 2005 Tour will cross this mountain on the centenary of the original climb.
