Canal du Rhône au Rhin Tree-Lined Path

Highlight • Cycleway

Wonderfully relaxed cycling along the canal, it's always straight ahead. The route is also popular with racing cyclists. Asphalt is built between Marckolsheim and Strasbourg, from Neuf-Brisach to Marckolsheim good, fine gravel.

Passing a large mosque, we quickly find our way out of Strasbourg heading south, along the Rhine-Rhone Canal. Then it goes through the rural Alsace until Sélestat. The cycle paths are well developed (all asphalt) and perfectly signposted, only a short stretch shared with cars. Before Sélestat there were plenty of storks in the meadows. It was quite warm!

The tour starts from Strasbourg along a canal, then through tranquil villages in Alsace with beautiful half-timbered houses and finally the tour ends in a place with wineries.
