Before arriving at the Rail Trail, one is surrounded by magnificent half-timbered typical Alsatian houses from 100 years ago. The road is in need of some repairs.

This region has hundreds of small fishponds, once created by monks in the Middle Ages. Today they form a patchwork of water, reeds and forest – a paradise for birds, cyclists and those seeking peace and quiet. You cycle along quiet banks, see herons take flight and enjoy local specialities such as fried carp along the way.

In 1913 and 1914, following the ideas of Johann Knauth, architect of Strasbourg Cathedral and curator of the M.H., the nave, the side chapel of the Sacré-Coeur, the Saint-Joseph Chapel in the basement, and the sacristy were rebuilt in the Gothic style by the architect Alexandre Louvat from Mulhouse. The old Gothic nave, remodeled in the 18th century, was decorated with murals dating from 1491. To the south of the choir was a small chapel dating from the 14th and 15th centuries, with cross-ribbed vaults on consoles. To the north were the remains of the old priory cloister. On the site of the present Sacred Heart Chapel was the 18th-century Mount of Olives, the rood screen of which was removed in 1861.

Beautiful route without cars

This comfortable cycleway provides a great alternative to the very busy D419 (especially at rushhour). Almost zero traffic here on this route. Enjoy the 4 short climbs on this route which are mainly 4-5%. One word of caution however, the descent down to Altenach can be a bit dangerous due to the loose gravel on the pavement which has been washed down from the fields and forest.

The surface is a good asphalted road which is free from automobile traffic for the most part. This is obvious through a large speed bump im the middle of the road. The officials need to paint this speed bump in a fluorescent color so that one may see it until the last minute as it blends in well with the color of the pavement.
