ヴィッテルスハイムのおすすめライド

Unlike the Blochmont, which crosses the same ridge just a little further on, this road from Wolschwiller is considerably more challenging. After a gentle start, the route climbs relatively steeply through the narrow valley. A stream flows to the right, while beautiful rock formations are often visible to the left. At the top, near the unmistakable 'Lange Matte' (Long Meadow), the terrain levels out again, and soon you're at the top.

This excellent cycleway is a great way to avoid the heavy traffic on the road.

This separated cycleway between Wittelsheim and Staffelfelden is a great way to avoid the heavy traffic on the road.

The French and European National Cycleway is a great cycleway winding along side of the Rhine Rhone Canal with very little climbing, for those who do not like to climb. However those who are climbing shy, must be aware of the wind in this area. A lot of the locks still have the former lock man’s house which adds a bit of charm to every lock. One is never alone on this route as there is a constant passing of bicycles, both leisure and racing bikes.

The VV221 cycle route is part of the EuroVélo 5 network and begins in Ensisheim at the Thur bridge and ends in Cernay after about 17 km. The route initially runs alongside the road, then past ponds and finally through a wooded area. It runs alongside the Thur and passes the Alsatian Ecomuseum (another route leads to Ungersheim via the Petit Prince Park). The Green Route then winds along the Thur, passing Pulversheim, Staffelfelden, and Wittelsheim, and finally reaches Cernay, still along the Thur.

A fab rhubarb cake to be had here !

The Écluse d’Eglingen is a small, active lock on the Canal du Rhône au Rhin, near the village of Eglingen in the Sundgau region. This spot is popular with cyclists due to its quiet location along the 'EuroVelo 6' and regional cycle routes. The lock is surrounded by greenery and offers a bench and shade, but no facilities.

The town of Soultz-Haut-Rhin (German: Sulz) near Guebwiller lies at the foot of the Vosges Mountains, at the entrance to the Lauch Valley. The first written records of Soultz date back to 667 as "Sulza," meaning salted spring. This beautiful town is not touristy; many buildings in the old town have a pleasantly morbid charm. The narrow streets and alleys, apart from the architecture, are more reminiscent of Spanish villages.
