K

The Col du Bonhomme ( dt: Diedolshauser Pass) is a pass over the crest of the Vosges. It lies at an altitude of 949 meters in the municipality of Le Bonhomme in Alsace. It connects the Alsatian Weisstal with the valley of the Meurthe in Lorraine (municipality Plainfaing ) on the former National Road 415 Distance to Saint -Dié -des-Vosges in the West is 26 km away and the distance to Colmar in the east 32 km. Along the ridge, that is, from north to south, runs the Summit Route des Crètes that from the Col du Louchbach (979 m) to Col du Pré de Raves (1005 m) leads here.

At the summit, there are two inns.

The Col du Bonhomme is particularly useful in heavy traffic popular because it is not as high as the Col de la gorge and in contrast to the Maurice Lemaire Tunnel near Sainte -Marie -aux -Mines incurred no toll.
