シュヴェルツのおすすめライド

The relatively quiet main road between Courchavon and Courtemaiche runs alongside the small stream. Nothing special, but still beautiful.

At the start of the long Voie Vert route on the former railway line between Dannemarie and Pfetterhouse, you'll also find the Dannemarie town sign with a small statue. From here, keep left until you reach the actual cycle path.

The former Altkirch-Waldighofen railway line has been converted into a cycle path in some sections, leading through fields and forests without disturbing car traffic. Highly recommended!

This route takes one north to the area of Guebwiller with little or low traffic, however there is a rather camouflaged barrier at the end of this route before one crosses it. The barrier is the same color as the asphalt, rising about 15cm above the surface, one cannot see it until one is right up on it and is in my opinion, just downright dangerous. The local authorities need to have some type of florescent color spayed on this low hidden barrier to be visible to cyclists.

No idea why I didn't write anything about this...🤔😅

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.

Right next to the Largue cycle path lies this cosy nature centre in Altenach. You will find a short educational walk, a playground, picnic benches and a small exhibition about the nature of Alsace. Ideal to stretch your legs, have a bite to eat or go exploring with children. Free admission and open on Sunday afternoons in the summer months.

The Port fluvial de Dannemarie is no ordinary marina – it’s an unexpected oasis along the canal, where boats bob gently and herons keep watch. For cyclists, it feels like a little refuge: a place to take a break from the rhythm of your pedals and take on the rhythm of the water. Here you can refill your water bottle, stretch your legs on a bench in the shade or a little further away at the restaurant, or just watch the sun play on the surface of the canal.
