June 21, 2025,Von Sasbach, über Frankreich nach Breisach und zurück

Very nice tour, at the beginning quite a lot on the road, but you will be compensated for this later

June 5, 2024,Rhein und Rhein-Rhone-Kanal Rundfahrt ab Vogelgrün

An easy round trip, even without an e-bike.
From the motorhome parking space on the Rhine island of Vogelgrün, we went through picturesque Breisach, always along the Rhine, until we crossed the Rhine at the Marckolsheim lock.
From Marckolsheim, we followed the idyllic Rhine-Rhone canal to Vogelsheim. Then it was just a stone's throw to our motorhome.

December 3, 2022,Wasserschleife 🇩🇪➰🇫🇷 Rhein und der alte Canal du Rhône au Rhin

The current snow drizzle and autumn fog makes me look back on warm August. To get in the mood for further bike tours, there should first be a flatland stage. Where better to do that than along a river or canal.

May 20, 2026,Tour am Rande des Elsass - Zwischen Verbindungskanal zum Rhein-Rhône-Kanal und Rhein

Today's temperatures are expected to rise to 20°C. The sky is heavily overcast, yet the probability of rain is low. Therefore, we decide to drive to the edge of Alsace and begin our tour along the connecting canal to the Rhine-Rhône Canal.
We park in Marckolsheim in an empty school parking lot to prepare for the tour. It only takes …

July 14, 2024,🇩🇪 🇫🇷 Breisach - Neuf Brisach - Rhein-Rhône-Kanal bis Marckolsheim - Sasbach -Breisach

Hiking is not possible yet, so it's time to get on the bike - at least a leisurely, not too long ride is possible on my not-so-cool bike with a low entry.

I start in Breisach and ride over the Rhine bridge to France - via Volgelsheim to Neuf Brisach.

Here I circle around Vauban's fortifications.

August 7, 2024,1. Tour 🇨🇵 Elsaß, wegen Gewitter ⛈️ gekürzt 😭

1st tour in Alsace. Unfortunately, despite the good forecast, the weather did not play along. After about 30 kilometers, a thunderstorm was brewing. We sweetened the interruption with a delicious cherry beer. After the heavy shower, the tour continued. But unfortunately the peace did not last long. After a few kilometers, it started to rain again and a heavy rumble …

June 17, 2023,Kanäle im Elsass

The "Canal du Rhône au Rhin" runs a few kilometers from the Rhine through Alsace. In the summer heat, it's a great alternative to the hot, dusty route on the Rheindamm on the German side. The path is mostly shady and very easy to drive on. Some former lock houses are now small restaurants and invite you to rest. On …

August 29, 2023,Nach Breisach 🇩🇪 und zurück über Marckolsheim 🇨🇵

A nice tour, almost always along the water. On the way there along the Rhine to Breisach and up to the Münsterberg, which is well worth seeing, then back along the Canal de Colmar and Canal Rhone au Rhin to Mackolsheim in France, with a beautiful old town. All good roads to drive. And no water from above today 🙂.
