A dedicated cycle path on an old railway line. The perfect type of cycle path where you can ride without interruption for several kilometers.

Through the quiet and small valley of la Largue, this good paved road leads gently uphill to just before the Swiss border. At the northern end, view of the viaducts of the Mulhouse-Montbeliard railway and connection to the road through the Burgundian Gate. For details: achim-bartoschek.de/details/fr68_05.htm?f

Road cycling
The former railway line between Dannemarie and Pfetterhouse has been redesigned according to the well-known French principle as a perfect "piste cyclable" or "voie vert." Good asphalt, gentle gradients, and, above all, a lack of motorized traffic entice you to glide along at a brisk pace. Often through beautiful forests or through fields, only occasionally do you have to cross a road where there used to be a tunnel or bridge, which has unfortunately been dismantled.
