Cycle path along the Ill in Altkirch

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

This beautiful cycle path starts from Altkirch and runs along the Ill for a few moments. It's very soothing to pedal with the rustle of the river as a soundtrack!

The line from Altkirch to Ferrette is a former railway line. It was put into service in 1892 and was closed in 1968, then rehabilitated as a greenway in the 1990s.
