Between Black Forest and Vosges

The Breisach Cathedral towers imposingly over the bank of the Rhine. You cross the Rhine here to
Neuf-Brisach in Alsace, a 17th century, octagonal fortified town. The day ends wonderfully in beautiful Colmar, one of the most delightful cities on the French wine route.

From Colmar we follow the French wine route. The dreamy wine-growing villages, with many Alsatian timber-frame houses, and magnificent mediaeval town centres in the midst of extensive vineyards are areas for unwinding, enjoyment and simply relaxing. One of the highlights will be the Murbach Monastery, which was one of the richest and most influential in the Holy Roman Empire.

From Guebwiller you’re cycling to Ungersheim and passing Ecomusée d’Alsace , which represents an Alsatian village from the early 20th century. From here the cycle path leads directly to Mulhouse and its varied old town.  The largest automobile collection in the world and the Rail & Electricity Museum will inspire everyone, not just technology fans!

Along the typical canals you leave Mulhouse and cycle to Ottmarsheim where you should visit the beautiful Romanesque church from the XII century. Jd. should visit. You cross the Rhine at Chalampé and quickly reach Müllheim.

After the visit to the Villa Urbana and the Malteserschloss in Heitersheim, we head into the Breisgau. In the treasure chest of Bad Krozingen, the mineral and thermal springs await you, before the day fades away in Freiburg, the gateway to the Black Forest.
