I created this post, chiefly to show how well the magazine’s routes (they cost just a couple of euro each) will download into MyRoute / Google’s My Maps applications, giving bods instant holidays. They’ll download just as well into BaseCamp / MapSource or into TomTom. Do though check them, before you leave home.
The Vosges remains a popular enough destination, either as an alternative to the Black Forest across the border or as an addition to.
Tourenfahrer magazine 2/2023 has a suggestion on two broadly circular jaunts, one of 650 kms, the other of 550 kms. Though either or both could be adapted or stitched together, without too much difficulty.
The routes will download well from the magazine’s website, as always.

And loaded into Google’s My Maps, colour coded in the the same way as the magazine article:

Both websites translate well into English, via Google or some other tool.
