This Route is a cyclists dream and Alsace region has the longest cycling paths in all of France. You will bike through several small towns where time seems to have stood still since the Middle ages. The well preserved town walls and gates, the picturesque half-timbered houses, the impressive Roman and Gothic churches testify to an eventful past. Of course, the main focus is on wine; Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Gewürztraminer, and Silvaner.
But there is more than wine to enjoy on this bike tour in France: the idyllic landscape is dominated and protected by the mountain range of the Vosges, on whose mountain tops sit castles and ruins. The starting point of this romantic Alsace cycling route is the European city of Strasbourg. In the city center which is surrounded by the canals of the River Ill, you will get an idea of what lies ahead. At the end of the tour, you will have a hard time deciding what has been the highlight: Strasbourg, Guebwiller or Colmar!
You will be cycling mainly on bike paths, paved farm roads and minor roads with little traffic. Day 4 and 5 have a slight incline.
Individual arrival, settling at the hotel and free time to explore the town.
You leave Strasbourg on the cycle path along the Rhine-Rhône canal in a southerly direction. Your destination for today is the city of Sélestat, which convinces with its architectural features.
After visiting the beautiful baroque Ebersmünster Abbey, you will cross the Ried, an area enclosed by the Ill and Rhine rivers. The rivers here provide an optimal water supply for a diverse flora and fauna. Your destination for the day is Colmar, a city of art with an exceptionally well-preserved historic center.
Today’s stage is a slightly hilly tour along the "Route des Vins" through vines, wine towns and exceptional landscapes. You will pass the villages of Eguisheim, Turckheim, Kaysersberg and Riquewihr, which are among the most beautiful and famous villages of the Wine Route.
Today you will continue along the wine route through the villages of Hunawihr, Ribeauvillé, Bergheim (voted "Village préféré des Français" 2022), and Andlau with its Romanesque abbey before finally arriving in Obernai.
