A very nice cycle path along a picturesque canal full of life. You have to take the time to stop to enjoy the animals encountered on the way, the many benches or rest areas along the track, the very beautiful villages crossed. It is ideal for a family bike ride.

Canal de la Bruche

Highlight • Other

The approximately 20 km long Canal de la Bruche begins north of Avolsheim, not far from the old episcopal town of Molsheim. It was built by Vauban in 1682 in order to be able to transport sandstone by ship for the construction of the fortress in Strasbourg. In 1782, up to 950 ships sailed on the canal, which was used until 1938.

Today a beautiful cycle path leads along the "Canal de la Bruche" from Strasbourg to the former train station in Soultz-les-Bains. The cycle path is asphalted throughout and winds along the course of the water past the eleven former locks with the mostly beautifully renovated lock houses.

Canal de la Bruche cycle path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Scenic route on an old canal. The bike path is in perfect condition. In the wet meadows you can often see storks in summer.

View of the European Parliament in Strasbourg

Highlight • Other

Completed in 1998, the European Parliament in Strasbourg has since hosted the monthly sessions of European Union parliamentarians. Its hemicycle, which can accommodate 750 people, is in a glass and sandstone tower 60 meters high.

An arch with a huge glass facade of 13,000 square meters comes to marry it. Its shape runs along the Ill and the Marne-Rhine canal, two waterways that open up the landscape and enhance the magnificent architectural ensemble.

Saverne Town Center

Highlight • Settlement

Located along the Marne-Rhine Canal, the small town of Saverne borders Alsace and Lorraine. From here, you can easily reach Strasbourg via the riverside cycle paths. Don't miss the Rohan Castle, the "Little Versailles of Alsace," with its imposing pink sandstone walls. Today, it houses a youth hostel, among other things.
