Alsace cycle tour (North)

Leaving Strasbourg the European, you'll take the legendary EuroVelo15 - Rhine cycle route through the Rhine forest of La Robertsau, then on to La Wantzenau, Gambsheim, Drusenheim, Seltz, Munchhausen and Lauterbourg, all of which face the Rhine. Continue on the Lauter Valley cycle route to Wissembourg, a charming fortified town with a splendid Gothic abbey church. A short incursion into the Palatinate region of Germany will allow you to discover the charm of the Dahn area and its rocky peaks. You'll reach France and the Nothern Vosges nature park on the Sauer Valley cycle route, passing by the famous Fleckenstein castle. From Lembach, you'll branch off towards Reichshoffen, then Ingwiller in the Pays de Hanau and La Petite Pierre in the heart of the Notherne Vosges. You'll continue on little-traveled country roads towards Alsace Bossue. At Wittring in Moselle, you join the EuroVelo5 - Via Romea and the quiet Sarre canal cycle route and the Marne-Rhine canal cycle route. You'll be able to enjoy a number of beautiful stages, including the Mittersheim and Stock ponds, the Arzviller inclined plane and the valley of the lock-keepers, before taking a well-deserved break in Saverne, home of the Rohan family. You'll then head south on the V52, dotted with tunnels and bridges for cyclists, to Romanswiller, then Wasselonne and Marlenheim, where you'll join the Alsace wine road cycle trail. At Soultz-les-Bains, take the Bruche Canal cycle route back to the starting point.
