OK, the beginning through Colmar wasn't that great. It could definitely be made more interesting. After that, along the canals, it's beautiful and quiet. The rides through the vineyards are sensational. Ribeauville and Riquewihr are definitely worth seeing. Warning: you should plan the last 8km differently. Because of a triathlon, we were forced to use a real single trail.

After seemingly endless paths along several canals, we gradually reached the beautiful villages in the western part of the route, with Ribeauville and Riquewihr certainly being the highlights. In between, the paths through the vineyards - simply wonderful! And of course, this time neither tarte flambée nor Cremant could be missed 😉
