Between the Jura Mountains and the Palatinate Forest you will experience a fascinating landscape: the lovely hilly landscapes along the Wine Route, interspersed with picturesque villages and mysterious castle ruins, alternate with extensive floodplain landscapes along the Rhine. Experience the warmth of the Alsatians, their lively traditions and the flavors of Alsatian wines firsthand on this bike tour.
